    Hi, Hope you guys have a good day so far. So my situation is: I stayed at my mate's house the other night and suddenly next morning, 6 cops and 1 dog came with a warrant to search the whole house. I am pretty sure that it was not our fault for the cop to come because I hardly come to his place and on the other hand the host have no idea whether my friend smokes or not. We have never had any problem with the cop before either. So they came to search every room in the house and found 7g of weed in my bag. So my question is whether the cop will search my house, or they will just record it and make me come to a drug diversion program?

     
  2. Are you in the US? If they had a warrant to search the house, there must have been a reason. But it's pretty unlikely they'll get a warrant to search your house as well based on you possessing a personal use amount of weed. It would be helpful to know a general location though.
     
  3. They will not search your house. What did they say to you? did they arrest you? give you a written citation or warning? Did you explain to them that you were just visiting for the night?

    Thanks for your help, I'm at Australia at the moment.
    Well they did not arrest me, they said that it's my first time so I will have go to a drug diversion program. They also gave me some paper work, 1 is MINOR DRAGS OFFENCE DIVERSION which says that I will have to attend a drug diversion program, and the other is FIELD PROPERTY RECEIPT which report what they found in my bag (7g of weed and some tags with my name on it).

    Just attend the diversion program and hope it gets wiped off of your record. Is it your first time offense? I do not know how the laws in Australia work but I went into a similar program when I got my first offense. In my case, I was in teen court for 6 months and then it was expunged once I completed my sanctions.

    Consult with a lawyer.
