If I put lots of bubbling glassware on my windowsill, I wonder how long it would be until the police turned up at the door.  I've already had a visit from them due to my blue fairy lights, which someone thought were for growing cannabis.

You must have a lot of bored policemen where you live.

What happened?  Did they search your house?

I made a post about it here.  My mum invited them inside to have a look and they left without incident, but it wasn't a wise move on her part, and I've tried to educate her since then about how to handle police encounters.  Unfortunately, she thinks that the police are there to serve and protect, rather than to meet bureaucratic targets for detections and arrests.

Sorry.  I had forgotten, but as soon I saw your post I remembered reading it before.

Maybe your mom did the wisest thing, since you really had nothing to hide.

I wasn't growing cannabis, but that doesn't mean that a pair of policemen snooping around the house wouldn't turn up something else of interest, even if it was something as simple as my prescription dexamphetamine being stored outside of it's original container, and with the authorities being so jumpy about terrorism these days, a pile of loose electronic components and tools on my desk could be mistaken for a bomb lab.  It may sound insane, but if this guy can be arrested by armed police under the Terrorism Act and detained for 18 hours for photographing an electricity pylon, I think my caution is justified.

she probably did the wisest thing in an oppressive world where the police either are let in or let themselves in.

i wouldn't want the police in my room, even though there's nothing illegal they'd see all my accumulation of wine bottles and beer cans and stuff. ::) talk about embarassing. also they'd probably come in with shoes on because irish weirdos do that. we take shoes off in the house thankyouverymuch. and i'm OCD, i don't want people in my room, i have enough problems with germs. god i hate this planet sometimes.

I'm not taking my shoes off in your house, unless I've stepped in mud or shit.

The wisest thing would have been that the Brits never had let them disarm themselves. The pigs have nothing to do in his home.

I got interrogated by them once when they came to my house for something else and could see some of my labware from the door God forbid they ever searched here and found all my toys and collector items

Maybe your junk is the perfect cover... who's going to be nuts enough to search it thoroughly?  ;D
