I was and was told by a highly respected member of the council,loll. if you have nothing to offer up onto the table you don't keep your house.
This means sticking others in to preserve your lifestyle.
This has been confirmed by bent lawyers and police to me.

I have various examples of local grasses that keep their house, that have been busted with much more than me.

So i suppose my rant is if you get busted keep it shut and do your time and take the consequences.

I went on a rampage with local council with a bee under my bonnet and posted up a link to bentjudgeslawyersandmps.com which was posted on several social network sites, shortly after the web page was removed from the internet but not before i printed off all of their antics, most of them beasts and robbers of elderly.
In total there are only maybe 5 lawyers that are straight and the rest are all bent in some way or another.

Typical police work.
Once i was busted in Norfolk, England, with way too many plants for my own sake.
I was arrested for a few hours and set free to await hearing.
A few days afterwards i received the visit of the new "officer in charge" of cannabis&other drugs operations. Young&smart looking lad, educated, decently informed about my local reality at the time and willing to make me a kindness.
If i was able of providing him with useful info from time to time i would never be bothered again and would be able of keep doing what i needed to have a decent life quality.
I said that i was most interested in having a decent life quality and not being bothered because of that. The nice cop was well pleased, gave me a card with direct contacts and off he went.

Of course that i spread the info to my local fellow growers, we´ve managed to identify a couple of rats in our midst and i started straight away planning a relocation.

Nowadays i no longer live in the UK.

I hope that all goes right with you. I contacted specialist lawyers from some kind of UK pro-cannabis org. Can´t recall the damn name now but they did a very good work for me.

Stay strong!

I got busted on 2011, got nabbed with 9 plants. 7 of which were in flower. It was my first bust, there was no evidence of dealing to be found as it was all for Percy use. Anyway, I got a £200 fine through the door from the PF. Didn't need to go to court as long as it was paid by a certain time. We didn't lose our house after a wee battle with the council. They said they couldn't evict us as my wife denied all knowledge of the grow and I was the only one charged with it. Result!! Haha. The cops even left me with a wee psychosis cut I'd just got my hands on the week before!

Too many rats around! Best tactic is take preventative measures so you never come into contact with assholes. NEVER GROW WHERE YOU LIVE UNLESS YOU OWN THE PROPERTY!

I know it was a dead thread man I just joined today and was reading through this section. Just thought I'd share my experience for anyone else who may come across this thread in future.
