At around 11:40pm I go out into the kitchen, just to get a drink, and open the door because one of my cats wants to go out. As I open the door, I'm greeted with quite a shock, two Metro Police Officers.
I have no idea how long they've been out there, and I'm thinking to myself are they pissed at me for making them wait so long? There wasn't any sign, no dog barking, no audible knocks on the door, nothing. I was just letting my cat out.
But now that the door is open, and I'm in nothing more than a pair of boxers - no shorts, no shirt - I can't very well close the door on them. So I try to figure out what's up. They ask me to step outside, I ask if I could put on a pair of slippers first, which they allow me to do, but one of the officers follows me into my room, so I can get my slippers.
I put them on, still wearing nothing but my boxers (and now slippers), and go outside. That's when they tell me there's been multiple reports that someone is selling drugs out of the house. And I'm sure they thought it was me, after all, who answers the door with only boxers on, and the officer that followed me into my room must've seen just how abysmally messy it is.
Now, it's my sister, my mom, and myself in this place. I absolutely despise my sister, and know she's into drugs. It's something I've known since I was five years old, when my dad and sister started doing them. That's an entirely different story, maybe for another time. Anyhow, I don't even remember how the whole thing came about, but they kept asking if there were drugs in the house, and I honestly said that I didn't know, but if there were, they'd be in my sister's area.
I think before this they were trying to get me to allow them to do a search of the house, saying that if nothing was found, that would be the end of it, and if I denied them, they'd be back in a few days with SWAT and a search warrant, because the reports are serious enough that the house is on the watchlist, or whatever.
So, they're trying to get me to sign a form allowing them to search the house, and I'm naturally reluctant, as I've heard about how you should never allow them in, without legal representation or whatever. But I think to myself that I have nothing to hide, and if my sister has anything in the house, she deserves to go to jail.
Finally, I ask if I could call my mom, who's at work. I get my phone from inside, and they allow me to call, but one of the officer's was playing the bad cop role or whatever, and kept going "you're an adult (I'm 19), you don't need your mom's permission to allow us to search the house", I had said that it isn't my house, and I'm not doing anything without her permission. He basically repeated the same thing a few times, and was trying to push me to a decision.
I realize that I probably made a mistake, but after talking on the phone with my mom for a few minutes, at the end one of the same officer says something like "we're busy, and we're not going to wait a fucking hour while you talk to your mom... you're an adult, you can sign the paper, you don't have to ask your mom", before that, I had also asked if she wanted to talk to the officer (the call was on speaker), she said she had wanted to, just to get a grasp of what was going on, and I tried to hand the phone to him, and he went "what do you want me to say? I don't want to talk to her". I end the call with my mom, tell her I have to go, and before I ask if she's leaving the decision in my hands, as she was trying to get input, but I was being hurried up.
I probably made a mistake, but I tried to clear a few things up with them before I signed anything, like asking if they found anything, would I be taken to jail, and things like that. I was freaking out, and I wasn't thinking clearly. But eventually I did sign, and we went inside.
I had said that my sister had a corner in the living room, since we only have a two bedroom. I showed them to it, and they start searching. I don't think they find any drugs, but some needles or something, as they asked if my sister was a diabetic. They eventually finish searching her corner, when the officer that was in my room earlier, decides to make a return trip.
I try to follow him, because it's my room, and naturally no one would want someone going through their stuff, without at least supervising it. The other officer stops me, and asks if I'm okay. I tell him I'm not, show him my shaky hands (and explain that I have occasional tics), and that I'm just not a very confident person. I can break out into stutters and just tongue tie my words immensely when I'm under stress.
He tries to comfort me a bit by telling me I'm not in trouble and all that. But I still try to make a trip to my room, and he stops me again, telling me it isn't necessary. He heads to the kitchen, so I take the other way (we have like a wall island separating the kitchen and living room), and then as he's walking though, I head to the hallway.
I'm obviously jittery, my throat is dry, and my hearts beating away. At this point, I start getting some heartburn (had spaghetti for dinner, which always gives me heartburn). He passes me up in the hallway, and is looking into my room, while the other officer is going through it.
I try to at least come by him, so I can look into the room myself, but he stops me a few feet short. Now, I mentioned earlier that my room is extremely messy, and it is. I don't have a bed, so I have a blanket on the floor, as well as a few pairs of jeans/shirts strewn about.
And my bathroom is messy too, including a shower that drips constantly, and I've kept the door closed for a few months (I just use the shower in the other bathroom, because it also has terrible pressure/heating), so it's kinda nasty.
I'm waiting in the hallway, and after the officer stopped me from going near my room, I asked him if he could get the bottle of Tums off my desk, because at this point, I have a pretty severe case of heartburn. He says "I do too". I jokingly ask if he wants some, and he just goes "No".
The officer searching my room mentions that he found a bunch of small bills in different spots (I have about $200 saved up, that I have hidden, with my social and other important stuff - and then an envelope of a good bit more money that's for a camera/Blizzcon). So, that obviously doesn't look good.
I explain to the other officer that I'm basically a hermit who's absolutely pathetic, and that the money in the envelope is for a convention. I then explain Blizzcon to him a bit.
So, the officer wraps up the search of my room (probably where he spent the most time), and quickly checks my mom's room. Which is much cleaner. They probably spent 2 minutes there.
They go outside, and ask me to come out with them. They basically tell me that my sister is a tweaker, and that she needs to clean up. I nod, and then as they're leaving, they finish it up with "We'll be back."
There was absolutely no worse way they could have ruined my night. I was obviously a bit scatterbrained during our encounter, and visibly nervous, but I was as polite as I could be, and honestly hoped the situation was resolved.
So, they left, and I go check my room, which I hadn't been allowed in since they cam. My $200 is on the floor, so I put that away, and then look for my envelope, which I can't immediately find. I do eventually find it, and count it, and it all appears to be there.
So, I call my mom, and tell her what happened. She's like okay, and at this point I freak out a bit, and basically say my sister has to go. There's a whole long story with my sister, but basically she's the most selfish and disgusting person you will ever meet, who does absolutely nothing to help around the house. She constantly puts me mom on edge, and stresses her out non-stop, but after everything she's done in the past, she still loves her daughter, and doesn't want to put her on the street.
I end the call with her, and try to relax a bit. No matter how much I drink, my throat dries back up in an instant, my heartburn still hasn't subsided (despite taking some Tums that I was denied earlier), and my heart is beating at an alarming pace.
Everything ended shortly after 12am. It's now 2:22am as I type this (started at around 2), and my heart is still beating as fast.
I just can't calm down. I've taken a shower, and tried to slow my breathing a bit. I tried to lay down and go to sleep, but kept getting up because I thought I heard talking, or saw flashing lights.
I've basically resigned myself to the fact that I won't be sleeping tonight, while I worry if a SWAT team is going to be busting in my door, as unlikely as that may seem.
Not sure I expect anyone to read this, as it's a poorly written wall of text, but I think it has helped me ease my mind a bit... even if I am going right back to freaking out as soon as I hit Post message.
don't worry about tonight, you cleared everything up, and in the best way possible.
If you're worried about a future situation happening with your sister etc the only thing i can really tell you is that an addict can never be forced into rehab, it has to be a choice they make, and before they make it they have to hit rock bottom. I know it's depressing to hear, but at least from what i have experienced it is the truth, although rock bottom is very subjective (there are different levels to addiction, and the drugs they take do matter, etc)
getting some sleep would definitely be the best thing for you, drink a beer or two, it'll help steady your nerves.
D=... Sorry about your night, dude. Dealing with the cops is fucking stressful as hell, especially when they're lame about things. You'll be alright! *pat*
holy shit that sounds so intense man....hope that everything works out for you ok. you'll probably get some sleep after the adrenaline wears off and you crash

honestly this is pretty much a waste of time, and it might make matters worse.
Although next time try to calm yourself and refuse to sign it, they cannot get a search warrant based off of "people enter and exit the house frequently" and they can't bring in swat unless you barricade your house after they manage to obtain a search warrant.

I had a hand me down king size that was my parent's back when we lived in a nice house, so many years ago. The metal frame broke, and a couple of the wooden boards in the two twin boxes (not sure what they're called) broke. I got rid of those because my kind of had a U shape going on. Really slumped in the middle, and a pain in the ass to sleep on.
So, I had the mattress on the floor, and then I was, uh, sick, and figured that it wasn't worth cleaning a giant stain all over the mattress and that I could do with sleeping on the floor. This was back in November, and I had an air mattress for a few months that eventually deflated. So I just spread a blanket on the floor as some padding, and it works well enough for me, despite what it may look like.
That sucks. If your sister is as bad as you say she needs to go. You should try to get her out without the police needing to arrest her.
Drugs are bad enough, and while I'm not as anti-drug as I once was, they're still something I have absolutely no interest in. What my sister does on her own time is her business, but she has absolutely no right having any of that shit in my mother's house.
Drugs aside, the way I describe my sister doesn't even begin to cover it. At the very least, she doesn't help around the house, does nothing but sleep, or waste gas driving all over town for her friends, but if we ever ask for something, she rarely does it with a friendly smile, and basically bitches, and hurries us along (like if we were in a grocery store, we try to be considerate and hurry because she refuses to come in, and instead pumps the AC full blast out in the 110 F degree heat). She works 3 nights a week, goes in at the maximum latest (pushing what my mom/sister agreed upon - they work in a club as bathroom attendants), and leaves at the 5am sharp, which is the minimum required shift. Then she either comes home and immediately goes to sleep (or spend 3 hours locked away in the bathroom), or is over her friend's house a few hours, before she comes to sleep. Never asking if my mom needs any supplies for work, or anything.
And that's just the least disgusting of her selfishness, if I were tell stories of the things she's done over the years, you'd all probably hate her.

I might look into this, but I don't recall the officer's names (not that it's important, as I'm sure it's on record who was there at what time), and it'd honestly take a huge amount of balls for me to do such a thing (I'm very very timid), that I probably wouldn't be able to give an accurate account of what happened (even this writing is very imprecise and lacking of all the details that happened). In truth, I just hope that nothing comes of this, and that my mom and I aren't evicted/have the property seized (I don't even know if that could happen, based on what they found, but I'm sure you get the idea), because of my sister's complete selfishness/stupidity.
Thanks to everyone else for the words of support. I've calmed down considerably from when I started writing the blog, but I think I might browse Netflix for a movie (as Haji suggested ).
Wow. I read this whole thing. The entire time, the back of my head makes me think these cops are fake. They seem REALLY eager to search your house. Their attitude is total shit and really no way for an adult like them to act. I'm so paranoid LOL. I would have thought these guys are fake cops and just faking everything to search the place and steal some small expensive items into their pockets. o___O
But really, the one who was all "I don't want to talk to your mom. You're an adult. Just stop making us wait" is real shit. You should complain about him.

Sadly, that's completely within their right to do so.
Cops, at least in SoCal, are permitted to exaggerate and lie about the law and their privileges. They'll do that to try to scare you into saying something or to get you to cooperate.
They threatened me and some of my friends one time. One guy pulled out a camping kit with a little 2 inch blade, tweezers and a mirror from my friend's jacket. They arrested him and said they were charging him with a felony for a concealed weapon.
Cops are douche bags if they think you're hiding something.
I'm sorry to hear about the situation with your sister but you should let her know that her habits caused confrontation with police. Laying something like this on her family is real low, basically try to guilt her into moving out is my advice.
I understand that you were nervous but it was a huge mistake to let police in, if they really had permission to get into your house (or a swat team, lol) they would never pressure you like that.
amagad this was painful to read. Stay sharp and try to get D+ in life User was warned for this post
Edit: Gosh I didn't realize I would come off as an ignorant bastard. When I said painful to read I meant that I felt for you alot because out of own experience I can relate a little.
The "try to get D+" was supposed to sound lighthearted and cheerful and in my brain it did. It came out as crap and I'm sorry ~.~
So to clarify I really hope things shape up for you and those cops where asholes

if they want to go get a warrant they're gonna do so, it won't affect the outcome either way and so no fek has nothing to worry about either way it's just unacceptable conduct for a cop to be so aggressive about signing a search release. be courteous, let them do their jobs, but police officers ought to be held to a higher standard than the rest of us, and that seems to be forgotten these days.
they can't FORCE you to sign the release, there's a reason search warrants exist. they're a necessary thing in a lot of cases, but berating an already-nervewracked 19 year old that he's "not a kid and doesn't need his mommy's permission to sign" is tooooootally unacceptable for that guy's job
i mean i'm not saying it will accomplish anything, but 99% of instances of meathead cops (who are a minority on my experience, but there's certainly a lot of them these days) being unnecessarily rude or aggressive toward people go without a complaint registered because people think it won't accomplish anything
if that mentality changes, maybe it will, who knows
United States, the freest country in the world. For next time buy a silenced gun and a big bottle of lye. I'll PM you on how to dispose of bodies properly.
My night was absolutely nothing like your night except for the fact that I couldn't get to sleep. I was tossing and turning for about one to two hours before I got to sleep, and now it is the morning, and I am terribly tired. But, in your case, really sorry to hear it. Sucks that the police came and ruined your night, especially for something that had nothing to do with you, and wasn't your fault in the slightest.

I noticed the same thing. I guess USA is just one fucked up place, if cops really behave like that. And that war on drugs thing is just so stupid shit. It´s like nobodys really winning except the criminals.
The cops probably got a good laugh later at the police station. "Yea bro, this fuckin skinny ass 19 year old was going on and on about this blizzcon bullshit trying to explain his drug money. We're gonna go fuck his shit up with a warrant in a few days."
But seriously, I wouldn't worry too much. It's all over and I think if anything does happen in the future it's just going to be with your sister. You're not in any risk of going to jail IMO.
As soon as that cop started saying "you don't need your mommy to give you permission, you're a man" you should have just told them to leave. It doesn't make you suspicious if you tell a cop who is being rude to go away. Cops with a permit are going to throw crap around as much as they would without a permit if you give them permission to search. If people think they can push you around (cops or not) they will. I'm not saying you have to be machoman when you tell them to leave, but even if you stutter out "I'm not going to help you if you talk to me like this" that's enough.

I think it would void the evidence if you could prove in a court of law that he signed the contract thinking he didn't have a choice or that he felt in danger if he didn't. That would at least get the cop a slap on the wrist at work... maybe. I dunno what goes on behind the blue curtain
sorta same thing happened to a friend of mine. His crazy ex has a cop for a dad and had 3 units report to his house because they "heard screaming". while they were searching the place, they kept leaning to open the safe (which contained a large amount of illegal and unregistered weapons). of course his dad kept denying the officer without saying they needed a warrant. damn close call

Woah, TL warns posters now? o.O
And you didn't come off as an ignorant bastard, I took the comments as such, and they even made me laugh.
As a mini-update, I guess - I finally fell asleep at around 8-9am this morning, after several attempts to do so. I had a good attempt going at around 5 in the morning, when I heard sirens, and the cops had stopped a car across the street (over my complex wall), with their lights still going, so I was a bit on edge about that, but the street I live on always had cops stopping people, and it was just me being needlessly worried.
Haven't had any other visits (though this is around the time they stopped by last night, so I'm going to be on edge anyway), nor have I heard anything. So I'll probably be a bit antsy the next few days until I'm sure nothing else is coming of this. And all this has made me decide that it's not a good idea to keep a large amount of money around (not all that large), so I'll be buying my camera this week.
I'm really hoping we don't hear anything more from the police, and can relax.
im pretty sure i read this story somewhere...
either that or it's a really friggin clear dejavu...
With the first line are you trying to imply that I copy pasted this from some where, and am attempting to pass it off as my own? Because I can assure you that it's entirely my own writing of the events that happened to me last night.
Just learn the law. When authority figures try to bully you like they did, just have some lines from the law memorized, like how they need a search warrant to get into your house. You don't have to let them in and would they really bring a swat team just because you refused to let them in without a warrant? It is your right to refuse them entry into your private property.
If they don't have a warrant don't let them in the door, once there in your house they can basically do whatever the fuck they want. If they come again w/o a warrant when you step outside close and lock the door behind you.
You shouldn't worry about any mess at all, you should worry about your sister hiding drugs in your clothes it looks like she's not stupid enough to hide them in the house at all :/ ... thank god.
Mine was caught while trying to steal clothes once. Good thing she was in relationship with her fiance already then, he helped to clear her room before police arrived and wasn't bothered at all. Cop asked her why she tried to do that when she had so many clothes already.
Is there a term like "womb rabies" in English too ?
Dont take any guff from those fucking swine man, I would deffinatley make a call to your local police chief and tell them how the officer made you feel and was trying to force to into decisions.
Not to mention they cussed at you? "were not waiting a fucking hour to talk to your mom"
This really heats me, they work for you. Dont let them intimidate you
I think before this they were trying to get me to allow them to do a search of the house, saying that if nothing was found, that would be the end of it, and if I denied them, they'd be back in a few days with SWAT and a search warrant, because the reports are serious enough that the house is on the watchlist, or whatever.
So, they're trying to get me to sign a form allowing them to search the house, and I'm naturally reluctant, as I've heard about how you should never allow them in, without legal representation or whatever. But I think to myself that I have nothing to hide, and if my sister has anything in the house, she deserves to go to jail.
Just wanted to point out this is not good logic. your sister could have stashed something in your room for example. There was a video posted a while back (a lecture) where a lawyer and a detective basically say never ever talk or let them do anything at all. You should really watch it. You could incriminate yourself in the most ridiculous ways without even knowing it.
Also the fact that you let the cops bully their way into your house and make you sign some papers is fucking stupid, YOUR HOME IS YOUR CASTLE. Tell those fuckers to get the fuck off your property if they persist.
edit- After reading the rest, I reaffirm my statement again for another reason. You let these fucking cops swindle their way in your house and rifle through your shit while they basically called you a pussy? While they are there, you get all stressed out, and even after they leave you are so emotionally traumatized by it that you can't sleep and have heartburn and shit? If nothing else do you understand why now to tell them to fuck off? They ruined your quality of life and invaded your private space just because they have some uniform on.
You seem really uninformed and sheltered, tweakers are pretty dirty and shady but that's totally irrelevant to what just happened to you. For all you know those cops could have been posers or crooked and jacked your shit. Whatever you signed is going to come back and fuck you in that ass.
PS- Like others have said, there is nothing you can really do except file a complaint so they don't do it to others (or if it does happen the others won't be fucked over like you).

Yeah, I pretty much realized I've made a mistake at this point, and just hope that it doesn't come back to fuck with me. I watched the video posted in this thread, and had actually watched it when it was posted before, but for whatever reason, it didn't stick with me.
And a couple people have mentioned that my sister could have stashed something in my room, well that's one area I have covered. My sister has been living with us for 3-4 years again (she had been with us earlier, but lived in her own house for a year or two, before moving back in), and I was entirely against it. I didn't really have a choice in the matter, so my one condition of her moving back in was that I could replace my door handle with a locking one. I replaced my doorknob with a deadbolt (literally), and it's locked whenever I leave the house, and often when I'm not in my room. Simply put, I don't let my sister in my room, at all.
This sort of situation happened to me but it involved an undercover cop, the plan, and a big mistake.
The undercover cop: Couple of months ago, this guy started knocking on our door and my parents(asians) were too afraid to open it. Now I don't know why you should dress yourself like a damn crackhead for a crime that didn't involve drugs. I opened the door and out of nowhere a cop pops from the side and ask if he can come in. I'm guessing the crackhead routine was a way to encourage us to open a door rather than the cop himself.
Behind story: There was this guy who had the same first and last name as my brother. Thing is, my bro's name was common Vietnamese name. We knew that; they didn't. The crime the other guy committed was aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and grand theft auto. Contrary to popular beliefs, he didn't look like my brother. Their height, DOB, and middle name was different.
The plan: Now we only saw one cop and one undercover cop come in. They begin asking us for identifications. We gave them our license and they began comparing us and the convict. Also, don't ever let your parents talk if they're asian..seriously. At that time, they questioned us about our recent activities which really surprised us. I mean they knew we purchased a 25 gallon tank from craigslist a month ago. How the fuck did they know we did that? No personal information was given throughout the transaction. One of the most stupidest questions they ask was if we had another brother with the same first name as my only brother.
The big mistake: After 15 minutes of "analyzing" our licenses, they finally decided that everything was a mistake. Nothing matches even thought they had all the personal info on the guy(our tax money at work folks!). Suddenly a group of cops came inside knowing that the plan was a failure. And here I thought it was only us and our two buddies. I was dumbfounded that they really thought it was us and decided to put an operation in play to stop us should we run.
I personally think it's just a matter of her having enemies, for whatever reason. My mom and I had more or less come to terms long ago that she was abusing drugs, but she knew flat out that there weren't to be any drugs inside the house. That's not to say we'd be entirely naive to believe she's not doing them, but that we'd find out if she was doing them in house.
The claims that people are dealing drugs out of the house are complete bullshit. Either falsified by the people reporting it, or by themselves for whatever reason. My sister is selfish and can be immensely stupid at times, but to sell drugs out of the house would just take the cake on anything she's done in the past.
It's a general rule that her friends aren't allowed in the house period, and are strongly discouraged from coming on the premises. None of her friends have been here for a few months, and I'd know since I'm almost always home.
There are a few people that don't like her at work (strippers), so if they were spiteful enough, it's definitely a possibility that they'd create some shit up to get her in trouble. Or it could be her boyfriend's baby's mama - there's a lot of hate there.
I really can't say for sure where the claims came, I just know that it has something to do with my sister (that's a given), however, it's not because of anything she specifically did, and maybe more because of how she acts.
And no offense taken. I've honestly been close to disowning my sister many times (my brother already has), don't want her living here, and really only try to keep a decent relationship going with her because I don't want to hurt my mom anymore than she's already been by my sister's actions.
Once I'm either living on my own, or have her out of the house, I don't want anything to do with her unless she completely changes her shit around.
file a complaint about being pressured into signing the form. they are not allowed to do that and if you let them get away with it they will just do it to other people.
