If someone can smell Mary-Jane from someone elses apartment can they call the cops?

Question

what i mean is what can the cops do about the situation? search warrent and then Fine the user? anything else like getting evicted?

Ive never heard of anyone calling in but i was curious as to what would be done?

Answer 1

Yes, the person can call the cops and if the police smell it also, they have probable cause to enter without a warrant. I, however, believe that what people do in their own homes which does not harm others is their own business. I do not believe in interfering in others' lives, so this is something I would never do.

Answer 2

on the very worst, the police officials may carry their ok-9 unit. if so, and the dogs smells pot because the incense is so on the fringe of the scent, the police officials might want to work out the incense and comprehend this is not any longer some thing. The worst that could want to ensue is the police officials come, you're thoroughly trustworthy, they search for and discover no longer some thing, and then the police officials might want to now no longer come for your position if the friends call back. do not problem about it. And no matter if this is this style of difficulty, then do exactly not burn incense. i comprehend this is stressful and also you would possibly want to like it, even though it's going to end the priority. both way, you basically have shitty friends

Answer 3

Yes, you can call the police without having to give your name. Or you can call the "crime stoppers" phone number listed in your phone book, and mention that you suspect someone is smoking marajuana and just wanted to let the police know. But, unfortunately, unless the person is caught actually with the illegal drug in his/her possession or using it, there isn't anything the police can do. What you can do also, is notify the apartment manager, they are authorized to enter an apartment if there is a true reason to. Someone in our apartment was turned into the apartment manager for smoking marajuana, and the apartment manager had her evicted within 2 weeks. So 1st, contact the apartment manager, then they can decide whether to call the police or take the tenants to court themselves.

Answer 4

Yes they can call the cops.
Yes the cops can investigate if they smell it because at that point they have probable cause that a crime is being committed.
They can enter your residence to secure you and the evidence in plain view, they would need a search warrant to look further (under your bed in shoeboxes for instance) or they could get your consent to search.
In Calif. marijuana possession is only punishable by a fine.
If you have a doctor's prescription for weed you are all good and won't be charged.

Answer 5

In theory yes, if you want to be part of the problem you can snitch on you neighbor and probably end up getting otherwise law abiding citizens into serious trouble for a victimless crime. And don't tell me it's never right to break the law, look at the Boston Tea Party, it's down right patriotic to ignore unjust laws.

Answer 6

If the cops come and smell it from outside the door they can search the place for probable cause. The they will be fined and go to jail until court date. It is up to the landlord to evict them.

Answer 7

Sure they could. Best to have the kind of relationship with your neighbors that would prejudice them in your favor. I would hope that for such a minor thing, they would at least speak to you about it before flying off the handle and calling the cops. But some people only see black and white, so if you have neighbors that dislike you, don't smoke cannabis around 'em. Better safe than sorry.

Answer 8

They call call the cops. If the cops come and can smell pot coming from the apartment, that IS probable cause, and they can search without a warrant.

Answer 9

When you call the police they will investigate.

If they smell the same odor they have probable cause to make contact and secure the inside of the residence or "freeze the scene" pending the signing of a search warrant or they can obtain a consent to search.

Whether you are pro or con on the issue of marijuana...it is still illegal and as such appropriate to notify law enforcement.

Those who tell you to mind your own business are the types of people who allow others to tread upon YOUR rights to a safe environment and community.

It's not always the dangers of the drug itself but the environment and lifestyles of those associated with the drugs that often brings danger to your community.

I've investigated too many cases where a simple marijuana buy turned into a major assault or homicide!

This Mary Jane sounds like a reasonable fellow. Just tell him to take a shower everyday. Get in the tub with him just to make sure.
