It's illegal for a cop to search something without you there if that happens all charges get dropped. If parents are going to the extreme lengths by hiring drug sniff dogs they should at least do it in front of them at least that is legal. But honestly if they think their kids have a drug problem talk to your kids about it share your personal experiences and see if they make the right decision thats part of growing up making your own decision.
LOL
No offense, but your post, particularly the highlighted, is pretty stupid. A child who stores his illegal drugs in his parents house has no legal right to privacy. Why? Because it's not the child's house. The property belongs to the adult. And if the police were to some day break down the door and do a search, and found illegal drugs, then the PARENT would be the legally responsible one for possession of marijuana.
Seriously, how can some of you people be so dense? The house belongs to the parents, they can do whatever the hell they want to do to their own house. If you're a kid, and don't like it, guess what? Move out. Quit leeching off those you feel are treating you so badly, and get your own life. I'm sure you'll quickly come to appreciate the parents you have, who provide you a comfortable life.
Seriously, this stuff is just stupid. Quit being a druggie, and you won't have any problems. There is no legal ramifications to this, and the kids privacy is extended only so far as the parent allows it. People need to pull their head out of their ass in this thread.
Gees Klunder, I don't know about you, but maybe she should have gotten off of her ass and done some parenting instead of looking at ways to snoop through her child's life. Second off, marijuana is not a big thing, young people try it. When they hit 18, the majority will never do it again. Maye instead of trying to get your kid caught using drugs, maybe talk to them about drugs.
Geez, TM, maybe you should wake the hell up. You can be the best parents in the world, and still have children who smoke pot. I know many people who had great parents who had kids who smoked pot. Part of being a good parent is caring about your child's future, and thus, "looking at ways to snoop" is a sign the parent cares about the child, and wants to keep them from doing things they shouldn't do.
Second of all, marijuana IS a big thing. First of all, because it's illegal, and second of all, because weed is a gateway drug. It can impair reasoning and hand/eye coordination, which can affect driving abilities. It can lead the usage of harder drugs.
Finally, I don't know where your "18 and never do it again" nonsense came from. Most people who are smoking weed before 18, continue doing it after 18. And many of the ones who don't anymore, only don't because they've moved on to harder drugs.
Your statement is completely misguided, in just about every way.
