CAUGHT: Alibi's and justifications - Cannabis Growing Outdoors - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

When caught directly in the grow, good luck. I would try to argue "I didn't grow it, I just found it and was about to call you guys and report it when you showed up. Make sure you have an arrangement for bond money in advance.

But if caught in the area, here are some excuses I have prepared.

For trips during the dark hours, I have bought a couple dozen night crawlers, (worms). I put a dozen in my little bucket with some dirt and Im just hunting night crawlers.

Day time.

A leash. There must be a dead deer or something because my dog keeps comming down here and rolling in it. I was looking for her.

I'm hunting ginsing, see my bag.

If there's water, Im fishing and have a fishing pole and LICENSE.

I always have someone reachable by phone who I have discussed my alibi with that can confirm my story by phone.

There are lots of creative people here, so lets here what your plan is for getting caught with feathers on your mouth?

All good stuff silverback! I'd say the ginseng is a good one(especially around my parts - Ky). I think I will always carry some books and materials for collecting ginseng with me this summer. Thanks for the good advice - it's got my brain churning now!

Y'all take care now,
D

I grow mostly on my own land (woodlot) so have a legal right to be there. Here MJ is growing everywhere since half the highschool kids are running around in spring with their ATVs planting furiously. In the fall I stuff my plants into a garbage bag and if I meet the police it will be "Jeez ossifer, am I glad to see you, Little pricks have been growing pot on my land again and I was just on my way to the pighouse, er police station, to turn it in. I'm a senior citizen with no criminal record so it would probably work.

I think the leash idea is beautiful. Just keep it in your back pocket, produce it if ever needed. "Rover won't come back with you here scaring him Officer".
I dislike growing on my own land. It's an invitation to a search warrant, and I sure don't need that. I do grow just off my land on the 80 year old widow's property. Search her. Nothing to find, and it will add some excitement to her life.

Dang, your initial response to the law will determine whether or not you go to jail and whether or not your lawyer can mount a defense. I thought my ideas were weak and I was hoping to hear some better ones.

If you guys are gonna latch on to my lame excuses it doesnt look hopefull. we're probably all in real trouble.

Good stuff...I like how you think SB. Preping everyone for possible situations. Better to be prepared and appear confident with your statement than all over the place. I like my dog is loose I mlooking for it. Fishing is good,bird watching, scouting deer etc. However Im always on some one elses land, and trespassing to boot. So the uncontrollable explanation is good..the dog is loose etc. However be warned if caught at a site that contains mj....DO EXPECT your home to be searched! The fact of what is found at your home can make or break you. Clean house and keep it clean.

This is a good subject. I feel pretty guilty with my shovel and bags of soil sometimes. I guess when you are planting you just better not be seen. One excuse I have is if I were to be digging and were approached id say I was looking for leaks. You know? Little onions.

If I'm caught just wandering my excuse would be Looking for good hunting land. Although I don't hunt. I don't know... thats the best I got.

Sometimes if I think there are cameras I will wear a Halloween mask.

good luck explaining that right?

know your area well enough to know who else is on it at any given time
a good way to do that is spend alot of time there when your not growing or even nearby enough to see people or hear them. thats what i plan to do anyway but my situation allows it. never the less, keep taps on an area. investigate and research. gps photos are good enough now days to spot a frequently used path, sometimes. when i was thinking about moving i had to take alot of things into consideration. one of which was nearby people/homes if there was a plot housing a bunch of 20 somethings id prolly not want to plant near, that or id expect trespassing, or be run into while i was trespassing.
