Police at the garden shop

[ananymous]

The local garden center is behind a shopping center with a couple other smaller businesses... not much traffic goes through there. Well i pulled in today and saw a white van with black tinted windows in the back (not front) 100 feet from the parking lot. I took a quick glance at it as i was driving past it and it had just had a symbol which i think was the att symbol but they coulda just made one that looked like it and had att.com in relatively small print at the bottom front corner of the driver door. I was kinda sketched so i drove past the shop about 50 yards and parked in an empty area of the parking lot where they had a view of me if they had binoculars or somethin and played on the gps on my windshield then talked on the phone for a few mins and left.
A few minutes of googling led to me finding that that AT&T vehicles do not have back windows; its just metal paneling where they would be. Also, there was no phone number or anything on the van.
Somethin i was thinkin about literally just before i got there is talking to the garden center guys. I go in there about once a week to grab whatever (first grow... its always somethin new i need) and talk to them about it... like pest control, organic ferts, etc but i never said what i was growing and they didnt ask but im pretty sure they knew... they seem pretty cool both are kinda hippy looking college aged guys. And i use cash so they dont even know my name or anything, but do u think its bad in general to even talk to them about it? (and for the record, i wont be going to any grow shop in that city again.)

i wouldnt be worried about it, what are they gonna do follow every person who buys stuff from there home. plus since u use cash dont worry about it. they got nothing on you even if they did end up being cops and wanted to talk to you.

 

[GrowTech]

could have been a contractor who works for AT&T doing installs or something... I highly doubt the police are doing a stake out on your grow shop

 

[jamaica420]

Yeah the guys at the grow shop are probably growin budz themselves. They're usually potheads with botany majors so they know alot about alot of different plants. But overall they know who comes in to grow organic vegetables and who comes in to grow the ganja, its all money in their pockets...i have 2 hydroponic shops in my area and both of them are run by these type of people

 

[catnips]

Not something I'd worry about myself

 

[dhhbomb]

yea they all know whats up u just cant say pot just say ur tomatoe plants or something or u want to make ur flower weigh more u can ask them whatever u want really i do just never say weed , on second thought im in a medical state so i guess i could but u dont want to as a rule

 

[dontcopnone]

It's possible, but you're small potatoes. If they are looking for someone, it's not you. Like everyone else says, the guys in the shop are not going to fuck their own business over. Hydro shops around the country depend on us to stay in business.

 

[Lennard]

Someone one told me that no one goes in and spends this much time and money on tomatos (well some). But not enough to keep the amount of grow shops there are in business. Everyone knows whats up. Just never refer to the plant itself but its been said in here before just drop my 2 cents.

 

[marijewana]

dude your waaaaaaaay to paranoid, lol they arnt gunna do a stake out unless they think you got like 1000 plants or something

 

[demonic1]

I agree way toooo paranoid. Best places to get large quantities of smoke are a hydro shop. LOL! Don't expect them to help you out unless they know you extremely well and they will usually get you in touch with someone although I do not think they actually have anything to do with it except referrals.

 

[hectorius]

they look for large orders , like 10 lights and 10 bags of dirt and large fertilizer cntainers, if you go in there and buy couple things what are theyg ona do tell a judge you bought a 1 l of fertilizer so they spend 20 gran surveillance on you lol

 

[10mm fan boy]

I have actually seen them in the shop before.
Once a guy was just "standing around" by the door looking at everyone who came in, pretending to be reading the back of some bottle. He even had a notepad. I just looked around for a minute at pumps that are also used for fish tanks, then left.
Obvious cop was obvious.

Another time I walked in and was surprised to see a cop in uniform, minus his duty belt. I really have no idea what it was, but he had just made a small purchase and walked out with a bag.

I really wanted to ask the shop guy WTF, but I thought it best not to.

 

[casper23]

ok now, did you ever think the cops are buying stuff for their grow rooms? lol

 

[dontcopnone]

If there's a cop stupid enough to steal pot from an evidence room, bake it into brownies, eat them with his wife and call 911 saying they've overdosed...cops growing pot is not so far fetched.

 

[Boneman]

I dont think that even if they were cops that they were looking for you. They might be watching the shop or someone that uses the shop for a large op.

 

[JAPPY]

Perhaps it was a cop uncover as a AT&T guy cause he wanted to purchase grow lights lol. Anyway I wouldn't worry about it

Peace ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

[joshbigbuds]

hahah the weed is making u paranoid all you are to them is a customer they love you, aslong as u keep buyin shit off em they dont mind

lmao, u heard the call too? thing that pisses me off is the cop who did that got in NO trouble at all. wtf was that?

 

[dontcopnone]

Are you serious? What a load of shit. Not that it surprises me - in the past I've thought about getting some spraypaint and tagging our local PD with "Hypocrites R Us"

 

[wannabee]

what a funny subject! it seems like you shouldn't go to the garden center when baked, lol.
