Re: Police "Wellness checks" - what's legal?

Since they looked through the window, under the "plain sight" laws, they can confiscate it.

My suggestion: get some curtains.

correct plain sight,also if your window is open and they smell the wacky weed that is probable cause and they don't need a warrant to search everything.

Incorrect in North Carolina. Even with probable cause officers would need to obtain a search warrant, however they would do what is called "seize and freeze" where the house and everyone in it is on lockdown till the warrant is done and signed by a judge / magistrate.

well you are lucky in your state,in my state by the time it gets to court the police have lied so much a warrant doesn't mean shit,trust me i have been through our great system of law when i was younger and unless you have a Johnnie Cochran like lawyer warrant's don't mean crap.
