Sad news any advice

In point of fact, they have a right to "search tthe premises" which is to say "the property at that address". Unless it's a legitimate apartment with individual denotations (i.e. apartment numbers or letters indicating separate living quarters), they can legally search every room & structure at that address..... if they're so inclined.....which they rarely are. Having said all that, the risk FAR outweighs the benefit, imo....especially with a child on the way.
 
This whole situation has the potential to spiral downward very quickly. Child on the way, mother on probation switching addresses, it's a tinder bundle waiting to ignite. Life is long and some day you will have a sweet garden but for now you must cool it.
 
So sorry to hear about that whole situation, that's shitty!
As bad as it sucks to stop growing for a while, the risks just are not worth it, continue getting rid of everything. It sucks, but I think you just got to do it. Clean up the place of things that might cause trouble if found.
Congradulations on your new baby! Make it a good future for him, as free from legal bullshit as possible. And think about moving to a free state after all this crap blows over!
 
TDH. If that little voice inside you says "Stop growing or you might get busted and lose all your shit." STOP. You're not the only one effected anymore. Your GF is carrying your child. It's only weed.
 
He is completely right you know . Your not only thinking about yourself now . There is a baby involved . Forget all the probation and legal repercussions you have to do what is best for your child and imho that means no growing at all in a state that doesn’t offer a legal manner . Even after the probation. What happens if you get busted and go to jail . They give you both 5 years in prison . You lose your kid and your freedom . If growing is important to you then you need to move to a place that allows you to do so after your gf probation is over with . I grew in Florida before they passed the laws , but that illegal aspect is really what prompted me to move back to Michigan, it wasn’t worth the risk anymore . And as I grew and matured I realized my kids needs were more important then my wants . You are a father now and that means you sacrifice. Unfortunately that sacrifice has to be your grow at this time . If moveing isn’t an option for you then you campaign for legalization in your state . Put in the work . Make things happen for you. But do it legally. You only get one chance to parent so you have to do it right the first time . Before cannabis was legal in Florida I was at every rally , signed every petition and spoke out about cannabis and it’s benfits every chance I got . I lost some friends and family even but that’s the game we play. If it’s important to you then make it a priority in your life to do something about it .
 
if you want to change the address without looking obvious say that she has moved since she started her probation and just wanted to update it to "keep out of trouble" since they say you have to tell them when you move or change your numbers etc.. make it look like shes more worried about the probation getting onto her for not letting them know she moved back home to mama..
 
sad story.. =[ lol hate that ya had to go through all this lol id give em away to a friend or something and split the harvest or keep em in the woods i cant bear to chop any down!
 
If you were to get searched, they can search wherever they want. Doesn't matter if you are a "roomate" or what...if a room is in that physical address, they can search it! DO NOT LIST YOUR ADDRESS they will make at least ONE visit! And if you get some new officer trying to make a name for himself...if he catches a whiff of the smell.....
 
DwD... come to think of it, you could be right about that, in the strictest sense of the law but it's still a fine line that I wouldn't want to walk.
 
If there's probable cause (noticeable odor, dog hits on something, etc) I believe that since they already have the right to search the apartment in general they might not need one for the room. IANAL and this advice is from one crim law class years ago, look up search laws in your state to be sure. Do what's right for your child, it's not worth the risk. Good luck with everything.
 
I don't know, maybe different interpretations in different states? Happened to a friend of mine, he was living with a guy he worked with, when the probation officer came to do the "visit" on the owner of the house. Said he was laying in bed when the officer opened the door to see what was in that room.
 
yeah i can see ppl being paranoid and just being careful but noone is searching google or the interwebs for tdh picture or looking for him on a grow forum they have no clue he even exist.. there are thousands maybe millions of people who has a girlfriend on probation.. and i doubt many of them ever had there place searched just because of that it usually has to do with more.. like if you are being messy smoking outside partying asshole neighbors complain about the stench of weed growing and call the cops on you thats when a report is filled an investigation begans but until you give a reason for a pig to come snooping you are just an innocent civillian like anyone else.. its nice to be able to ask for info and tips but some times you gotta take what strangers tell you with a grain of salt they dont understand you situation 100% and at the end of the day all decisions come down to your self! honestly you should know if you should be worried or not.. if i never been in trouble for anything to do with weed i dont see why anyone reason why my place would be searched.. on probation you lose alot of rights as a civillian this a trick to be able to search you if you were pulled over without consent but why would cops even come to your home.. unless you give them a reason to come to your house in the first place you have nothing to worry about.. the probation officers are not and will not come search your place... not just for being on probation.. you have to be on probation and accused of a crime or something similar for them to even look into searching your home and if she says she live with her mom and not at your house they cant legally search your shit.. now if you think people are snitching on you or something then id be worried cause in that situation the cops would be looking into you and since they dont need to go get a warrant it makes it that much easier to search your place.. but if you have no reason other than your gf being on probation you should be fine bro.. thats the whole reason they do take your rights away is to be easier to be able to search you without a warrant.. but if you dont give anyone a reason to mess with you then there nothing to be worried about..


i hope yall can understand me, i know my typing skills arent the best lol
 
I think the intent of the search is because of the probation officer not the police . When you are on probation they come out to your home to verify you live there and some POs just walk in the door and leave and others wanna look around a bit . But they have limit and you 4th amendment right still protects you if you are not the person on probation . If you have a private area of a home that is shared you still have the right to a reasonable degree of privacy and without a warrant from a judge they can not violate that right . If they were married that would change everything . Being that all property is equally owned in the eyes of the law and then they could search everything . But as far as the court sees it they are 2 individuals and it must treat it as such . These are your rights.
 
But if, while making that cursory verification, the slightest hint of weed wafts up from the basement, there's probable cause for a full-premises search. There's just too many ways this thing could come unspooled to suit me.
 
That's a shitty situation, and honestly, while I agree that they're lazy bastards and probably won't be up her ass as much as they're letting on - I also think you should stop growing immediately. A baby changes everything. The baby doesn't need one or both of you in jail over growing weed.

Just my .02
