ussually i would fire it up everyday in my back yard. i am afraid that if my neighbors would smell it or see me use it from an upstairs window, they would call the pigs on me. i have been arrested once for using it in public place, and now i am very paranoid everytime i fire it up even in my backyard. does the police officer have any right to drive to my home and walk to my backyard and enter my house and search and arrest me and all that? is it ok for me to run in my home and lock all the doors and dont answer the door when the cop knocks? he cant trespass into my home property can he? i dont smoke in my home and i am from texas just in case you need the state i live in to help me. best answer gets a 10.

It's called plain view exception to the warrentless search, if a neighbor on their own property sees the violation they can call the cops, if the cops visiting your neighbors with their permission smells the pot from your yard they have caused to investing the smell, if you run it gives the police cause to chase and detain you
if a cops sees you smoking pot or smells it from a place he has a right to be outside your yard in neighbors yard he can arrest you how small is your back yard are the neighbors right on top of you?

yes you can get arrested due to you smoking it in your backyard they can do you for possession of an illegal drug and if your neighbours do call the cops they have every right to come into your backyard due to they other have to have reasonable doubt that your doing something illegal to be able to act and arrest people. if you run inside it would be to your disadvantage as you are making it obvious that your doing something illegal. my advice to you is if you don't wish to give it up do it some where else or your going to end up with a record

Can you be arrested for killing someone in your backyard?
If it is illegal, it is illegal.
They may need a search warrant to enter your home, but they can get one and if you don't answer your door they will simply knock it down, assume that you are a REALLY bad dude and you could be hurt when they find you hiding in the closet.
Try beer. It isn't the same but it is legal.

Unfortunately, you can. Victimless crimes including drug use are still illegal in many parts of the US.
People have been arrested for using marijuana for pain relief when morphine doesn't work.
The "War on Drugs" is doomed to fail, and only increases the crime rate and intrudes into the lives of good, law-abiding citizens. There is no decent reason to stop people from doing what they want with their own bodies, as long as they don't hurt anyone else?

If you are doing it in your yard and your yard does not have a privacy fence, then you would be "in plain view" no warrant is needed to arrest you for something seen in plain sight or view of the officer. If the officer sees you smoking it from the sidewalk or a neighbors property that he has permission to be on, and then you run into your house to escape. He can enter without a warrant. If not then he must have a warrant from the court to search. Heres an idea, don't smoke the crap. It is illegal!

Sure, you can! It's against the law to smoke bud. If you're caught maybe a verbal warning, or a ticket {money} or jail. Smoke in your house, if your neighbor will call the police.

Burn your self smoking in your backyard. So long as you dont interfere to other people's right to clean air, then do what you think would kill you. Cigarette smoking, they say, is not good to one's health. If you dont want to die old, then smoke and die young.
