KnottyDollar said:Exactly, ask what they want through the door. If its a noise complaint tell them you will keep it down. If they say they smell pot, tell them you smell nothing and to go away you will not open the door until they have a warrant.

What if you have it perfectly hidden, and you agree to let the cop look around, but he finds nothing? Does he call for k-9 or leave?

If you throw away your rights, and open your home to the police, no one can help you. You screwed yourself.
Azeotrope said:Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that a claim of smelling mj is not probable cause in most states if not all. At least not according to my 3 family members that are practicing attourneys. Of course they do not know what I do, but I did slip in the hypothetical over dinner last year. They said that there needs to be some harder evidence than a claim of "smelling pot" as it is not an exact science.

EasyBakeIndica said:Why say anything to them?
You have the right to remain silent.
Make them do the work.

KnottyDollar said:And btw - smell of cannabis alone is not probable cause and doesnt not give them the right to search and seizure. They would actually have a hell of a time getting a warrant on smell alone unless you are in a very conservative state. Or dealing with feds, then all bets are off.
