In reply to the discussion: Why cops bust down doors of medical pot growers, but ignore men who keep naked girls on leashes. [View all]jeff47
(26,549 posts)74. K, I'll call the police and say you were parading a naked woman around your yard.
The police will be along shortly and rip apart everything.
And next week, I'll claim I smelled pot coming from your house.
The week after that, I'll claim I heard gunshots.
The week after that, I'll claim you are selling meth.
The week after that, I'll report you for being a nuisance. After all, the police have had to come by and search your house every week for the last 4 weeks!
Oh, and I'll be using a disposable pre-paid cell phone each time, so they won't be able to track the calls to me.
Allegations from a neighbor aren't enough for a search warrant by themselves. Because the scenario above would happen over and over again to settle petty grudges.
