Anyone heard anthing about charges and the number of plants in the uk
After searching Waylett they found pictures of bushy cannabis plants on a digital camera.
A further search of the Audi found Waylett's friend John Innis, 20, had eight bags of herbal cannabis and a butterfly knife in his possession.
Waylett immediately confessed to officers that the cannabis in the photographs was in his bedroom and they went straight to the home in Kilburn, north-west London, where he lives with his mother.
A search uncovered two tents in the bedroom with four small cannabis plants and six large ones inside, prosecutor Victoria Oja told City of Westminster Magistrates Court.
You hit the nail on the head . Thanks for the reply and Lots of usful info there ++RepYou have to admire Neil's determination to fight this unjust law! You can visit his site HERE or find him on facebook to keep up to date with his progress. (Neil Morgan).
To reply to the original question its a fact that first offence is a formal police caution where a grow is found to be 'personal'. Anything more than 8 mature plants is regarded as a 'farm' by police so bear that in mind. You will still be arrested, even for just 2 plants and your home may be searched. Any grow equipment and plants etc will be confiscated of course. They look for any evidence of 'supply' (and remember that even passing a joint to a friend is supply!) so scales, bags, cash etc is what they are after. I've only been through it once myself 2 years ago (I'm the same age as Neil) and its not a very pleasant experience. I was caught with 32 plants and 1000watts of lighting of which 18 were young cuttings or small vegging plants, 14 were in late flowering, none were more than 18" tall. Police accepted it as 'personal' and after 7 hours locked in a cell awaiting questioning I was bailed and later cautioned...end of! It was class C then though. That just gives you something to work with but it can depend on individual police forces. Needless to say I have now 'downgraded' just in case
If anybody wants to keep up to date with court cases from around the UK then this is the place to watch- Legalise Cannabis Alliance -Court reports- You may even want to join up for £24 per year as they offer legal support and advice to members in event of arrest.
Enjoy your growing and remember that we are fighting an unjust law with all of the evidence now turning slowly in our favour. Its the Govt that makes the law, the police are basically just doing as instructed. Arm yourself with knowledge and be prepared to defend your rights in court as Neil has continued to do
