if a cop walked up and knocked on your door and said " we have a warrant to search your house, we can do it right now or come back tonight hold your family at gunpoint and shoot your dogs" what would you do? if saying "fuck you" comes to mind they should deepen the gene pool by shooting you and petting your dogs. there are very few people who would say no and they know it. barney fife walking away from the front door with your stash is not near as cool on camera as guys in body armor.
^That is bad advice. Never answer the door. If the warrant is false or invalid and you open the door they will say they smelled weed and then get a real warrant. Then your lawyer cant help you as much. It is not against the law for the cops to lie to you to trick you into opening the door. There is nothing you ever need to say to police. They know this, which is why they never bother to knock when their warrant is legit. If they are knocking just put your dog away and make sure he is secure so there will be no need to shoot it, when they kick the door in later.
... and if they do arrest you, literally say nothing to police other than "I respectfully retain my right to remain silent, and I want my Lawyer now please." Their deals are bull shit. there is nothing you can say to help you,and that is advice I am repeating that was said by a defense lawyer that used to be a police interrogator.
trust me hash i was not saying believe what they say and i was not saying talk to the cops. the only point i was trying to make is that for the most part the kicking in the door with 20 guys a little over the top. just like a grower answering the door with a gun is a little over the top. both lead to trouble. most of us seeing a REAL warrant would try to keep the wife, kids and pets out of the line of fire. and for how many grams of weed in this case? bet you almost anything the guy would have given them his weed and put the cuffs on himself if what happened could have been avoided.
oh ya it could have been avoided, by ending the fascist drug war all together.
