I think this needs another bump...
Just a quick reminder that this stuff is a reality. I was raided at 6pm on Easter sunday. Needless to say not a pleasant experience. I dont deal and never have so Im not in that much trouble but with three counts of possession and a smoking implement its not exactly an ideal situation either. Tomorrow i get DNA sampled and photographed etc... bit of a scary thought.
When you break the law you cant really expect any less. In my case I was probably a bit unlucky and the consequences of my actions caught up with me.
A few things to take note of:
^^^ don't - buy your drugs before an event, and use them. of course, you're not always going to use *everything* you purchase, but i don't think you're gonna get in too much trouble for one or two pills lying around the house.
^This goes without saying, im not a dealer, never have been BUT in my case I was planning on heading out for a huge night around 2 hours after the police came knocking... having ANYTHING at your house for any amount of time is risky.
shit, this thread just reopened my eyes. Its amazing how in your own circle of friends drugs are so common you can forget they are illegal
This is one way to get yourself in trouble. Its easy to forget that a seemingly harmless fiendish sesison with your friends in your own home is not necessarily seen that way by those that live around you. In my case having the odd home fry, talking about it on the phone ( I live in units so it not hard to over hear converstaions) or even a lazy joint out the back can be enough for a few neighbours to make complaints/voice suspisions... then its only a matter of time.
I co-operated fully when they asked me if there was anything in the house. That made all the difference... they still searched everything but not that well. They were decent the entire time, made small talk and put all my stuff back so I wont complain about the conduct....
Except that they somehow forgot to take all the evidence when they left (drugs, phone, pipe etc) ... It was all bagged and recorded and they left it behind...
After careful consideration I didnt touch a thing and went to the local phone box to tell them. Wierd no??
anyways just my two cents.
