OK im not a lawyer but i know enough about the law to say that dude fucked himself over quite nicely..... The police come knocking on your door asking "Did you order cannabis seeds from overseas" Even though the package is not in the household owners name.... He says yes. Why say yes. That is the whole point of putting a previous tenants or randoms name on your order. So you can say "No sir i dont know wtf your on about".
The article dosnt mention whether they came to his house with a warrant to search the premises. I do NOT believe that police have the authority ( EVEN IN THE COWBOY RUN {CORRUPT} POLICE STATE OF QLD ) to obtain a search warrant on a domestic residence over a random peice of mail being delivered to an address all because a peice of mail had a new tenants name on set mail. I find it hard to believe that in this above mentioned case that the police had a search warrant and executed the warrant then found what they found.
They investigated, he dobbed himself in coz he was scared or stoned or stupid or all 3 and then the case went from there.... You would be surprised by how stupid some stoners are when it comes the law or how co-operative stoners are when they are scared to spend a night in lock-up.
RULES OF ANY BUST - SHUT THE FUCK UP. LET THEM CHARGE YOU, GET A LAWYER. You will spend 1 night in lockup till u get infront of a judge in the morning then u will get released on bail. LET THE POLICE DO THEYRE JOBS. DONT DO IT FOR THEM.
YES They can do exactly what they did, which is come and knock on your door, investigate a bit by asking a few questions... Anyone ordering seeds online should prepare theyre house hold accordingly for such a visit. IF you have a hydro setup and you then order seeds to your own home, WHILST you have the setup going full steam then im sorry but that is fucking stupid.
If u are growing, then theoretically u have lots of weed. GIVE A MATE A FEW FREE OUNCES, TELL HIM TO EXPECT POTENTIAL KNOCKS. Make sure he is willing and understands what he is in for. Alot of people who just have a bong in theyre house wont be scared of getting a knock on the door about that shit....
