So about a month ago my house got raided due to nosey neighbors. I have my doctors recommendation and all my plants were under the legal limit, and i had under the legal limit of dried medicine for the county in california that i live in. So they confiscated all my lights, fans, plants, dried meds, fans, etc. They called me back a few days later saying no charges were going to be pressed.

My next question would be do i get all my equipment back? Or would it still be considered evidence even though no charges were pressed? If someone could help me out that would be great. Thanks!

Just a guess here but if no crimes were commited you should get your stuff back. I would contact the station or investigating officer, after a certain time frame they may keep it.

The same thing happened to me in Oregon, the cops took off with all my medical grow equipment. I kept calling the detective in charge of the case and left a bunch of messages but he wouldn't return my calls. I guess he was pissed I was legally growing. I got no notice of forfeiture, but apparently the police dept. "destroyed" the equipment because it had been a few months. Probably brought it home to grow themselves. Call the police dept. and find out who is in charge of your case and ask if you can have your stuff back. You have nothing to lose by calling and asking.

it doesnt even matter if a crime was committed. if they arent filing then they need to give you back your shit so long ias it is not illegal in and of itself.

they need to return your medicine since no crime was committed. if you showed the police your medical documents & as you say you were within limits & they still took your medicine, i would press charges & suit them. the state law protects you in this regard.

hope you get your stuff back

it would seem to me that maybe your neighbor & police broke the law somewhere by revealing & taking your medicine. the law protects you in this regard. look at the HIPAA laws & Civil Rights.

"The Office for Civil Rights enforces the HIPAA Privacy Rule, which protects the privacy of individually identifiable health information, and the confidentiality provisions of the Patient Safety Rule, which protect identifiable information being used to analyze patient safety events and improve patient safety."

they wouldn't do this and get away with it if it were any other prescribed drug.

UCLA & Kaiser just got spanked for divulging medical information.

They are legally required to return your equipment. (Or rather allow you to go pick it up) if they fail to do so they can be legally liable for it's replacement cost.

For some reason they are not legally required to return your medicine in any case nor are they obligated to pay for it's value when improperly seized.

Call NORML and see if they have someone you can talk to, they may refer you to a lawyer who's very familair with this type of thing. And if you aren't a member of NORML pay to become a member.

THAT IS AN ILLEGAL SEIZURE, IMMEDIATELY FILE A COMPLAINT AND A REQUEST FOR THE ITEMS, http://www.canorml.org/marijuana_laws

in a case determined in my city of garden grove the police cannot hold your medicine and items relating to it if you have not committed a crime. as much as they like to, immediately time is of the essence get shit done.
