just to clarify everything... I did ask for a warrant, i did say i had no pot, i said that everything was ok and there is no reason for him to search my home....

Here is a recap of the entire 3 minute conversation:

I opened the door at 4 30 am to the cop ringin my doorbell, he said he was in response to a 911 call and that they had called back and my phone line was busy... I dont know why... No one called 911, i was the only one awake and i sure as hell didnt call em. He said he needed to search my home to make sure everything is ok. I said, everything is ok, no one called 911. He said that sometimes 911 will be called if your phone line messes up and i said that our phone line has been messing up recently and that everything is ok. He said that it is policy to search when the phone line is busy. I felt that i had no option and that even if i said no, he was still gonna search. Then he said, do you have marijuana in the home? Like that was a likely thing at a residential home with 3 cars in the driveway. I said no... Thats when he said he can smell it... He then tried to assure me that if i had pot in my house that he is not worried about it... But yet i have already told him i do not have pot in my home and that he is only there for a 911 call. Thats when i caved in and said that i do have pot. End of story. Cop did not take no for an answer, and did not care that i had already requested a warrant.

What do you guys reccommend?

I repeated the story because someone asked again. I am not dumb. I have a lawyer. You guys say to watch the video of "do not talk to cops", but you forget I have dialup and it will take an hour or more to load. Not to mention I have ALREADY TALKED TO THE COPS.

I do have a new question tho. I have talked to many people and done a lot of research and from the way it looks, with my me being a first time offender, I am going to get some type of probation. My lawyer says that he wants 3K and I cannot really afford that unless I sell my car.

Do you guys think it will make a differene if I use my lawyer, who claims he is in good with the judge and prosecuting attourney, or should I use a free court appointed attourney to save 3K?

You had a panic attack. I've had a bunch of them. The good news is you can't die from a panic attack.

I can't believe you found jesus. Everyone I know finds him in jail or prison. I thought that was were he spent all his time.

If you learned anything from Vampire stories is that they can't come in unless you invite them. Vampires = ruthless blood suckers / Cops = ruthless bloodsuckers. See the comparison?

Where I live if there is a 911 call and you don't stay on the line they call you back, they don't just show up. Did your phone ring or anything?

Hey guys, thanks for all of your help and advice.

Couple questions...

The cop said he was in response to a 911 call, but I was the only one awake in my house. I had tried to get on the internet about a half hour earlier and was unsuccessful, I have only dial-up and my phone line was acting up due to a recent storm. The cop said that he was in response to a 911 call, which I didnt make, came to the door and rang the door bell. He saw me through my front door so I figured I had to answer it. I never said that he could come in, I even asked him if he had a warrant. He told me he didnt care if I had a little pot, but as soon as I said ok I have pot, he walked in. Then when he got in he said if you have plants growing, its a different story, and since he was already in my home, I figured Im fucked and he could read it on my face. So then he says, take me to the plants... which I did and then I was arrested.

My question is, what is considered an illegal search and seizure?

And, I spoke to an attourney, who said that the cop did what is called a knock and talk which means that the 911 call was a cover up for the real reason he was there, just to get me to say something about it. My attourney said that this is legal, and that cops have the right to lie to you as an investigative technique. Is that legal? Can a cop lie to you to get information from you.

Also, about my post on my heart attack. You guys are probably right, I had a panic attack... but it was scary as shit. My heart was physically beating faster, and my body shivered uncontrollably. When I said I found Jesus, I didnt mean that I started believing in the Bible. I just gained more respect for life... being as young as I am, that WAS the most scared for my life that I have ever been. It seemed worse because I have had a ton of bad luck in my life lately and my stress levels are up.

Heres what I mean..

1 year ago, I had never smoked even a cigarrette and I was in great physical shape. I was in college, and working at a gas station with my mother as my manager.

August of 2007, the gas station I was working at got robbed by gunpoint at 2:30pm. I was late for work, I should have been there at 2. My mom was there with 1 other employee... My mom was fired as a result of the robbery, the thiefs broke into the office and took it from her while she was counting the daily safe drops. So my mom lost her job at no fault of her own.

The next day, I was fired for being late.

I went on unemployment soon after and was unable to find a job for a while.

I found pot in October of 2007, fell in love with it and started smoking more and more, til it became a daily event. Pot kept me from finding a job even more. I played alot of poker and made money that way.

Time goes by, the day after my 13 year old brothers birthday, and valentines day.. my mom gets a phone call from the city of St. Louis police department saying that they found my dad laying dead in his truck parked in front of a church. He was in the passenger seat. Cause of death was hypothermia. How did this happen? My family doesnt know. What we do know is that he had his valuables stolen, including his cell phone. I placed a call several days later to his stolen cell phone and some foreign fuck answers the phone and says "you can have your phone back when I get my 100$"

So, my dad was murdered over 100$ dollars. This devostated me and my family, and I turned to pot even more. I drowned out my sorrows by sitting in my room and smoking all day long. I started growing pot shortly afterwards to avoid the price of the pot.

In the past three days, I have been busted for growing, and charged with a class B felony, my 13 year old brother fell off of a trampoline and landed into a bonfire pit and suffered third degree burns on his arms. My mom has no medical insurance. My 20 year old brother had a huge tree fall completely on his car and smash it. His insurance will not cover it.

I have a few other things on my mind, but this is what mainly caused my panic attack.

So... FUCK. my life blows.. good thing im incredibly good looking.
