So if you don't like you neighbor

You will be able to just call the county and say you smell weed.

Then the county, if laws being considered are passed, can come and do a search of your neighbor's home without a warrant.

Since all the med pot people have protected privacy of their status, the only basis to know if someone needs an inspection is an accusation. Seems like folks around here are not in favor or warrantless searching of their homes (seems like one of the original laws prevents this). Assessors cannot come in your home or on your land without permission, cops cannot without a warrant, building inspectors cannot unless you invite them, this is very new and different, and when attempted for taxes was shut down.

Read the flume, call park county, call them out, ask them not to get us into a supreme court battle that we cannot afford so that they can come in our homes based on a neighbor's whim or to come in our house without permission.

See the flume link above in the courthouse or plan on letting them in. This has little to do with pot, a lot to do with YOUR house. Most people up here don't grow pot, but they will all be subject to warrentless searches if the laws pass, they will all also have to pay for the court battles.

In the end, once they pass these laws, as they pass everything they want, you will not be able to let light, sound or smells leave your property here (more than pot is at play, please read and call), with very little exception, likely no exception in a few years. Don't forget the fines for peeling paint and having the wrong brand trash can. When will it end around here, why are the leaders so opposed to basic local freedoms.

But hasn't it always been this way to some extent, your neighbor abuses the kids, has too many pets, etc? the only way to cure it is to not have neighbors.

this "war on drugs" is stupid and is costing too much money, lives, and people wasting away in prison - thus guaranteed to NEVER get a break and be hired for a job, relegated to second class.

Park County is NOTORIOUS for warrant less searches, ILLEGAL SEARCH AND SEIZER? JUST TO NAME TWO...

The war on drugs is STUPID, if people want to kill themselves that way, let them...

Baran needs to MOVE back to the city.
She doesn't belong here.

You may enjoy the freedom to listen to your stereo, but that should not come at the expense of my freedom to listen to the songbirds. I fail to understand why lights on your property should lessen my freedom to enjoy the stars in the sky above me given the desire to see as many of them as possible is one of the reasons I chose to live here instead of a city. I, personally, no more want to know if you are growing "medicine" at your house than you vacuum your carpets in the buff or what positions you and your partner most enjoy when having sex. When you do any of the above, it doesn't seem inappropriate to have you keep that information from being widely disseminated. I also would be rather annoyed to find out, as a result of being awakened from my sleep, that you thought 2 a.m. was a good time to fire up the snowblower to clear your driveway. I might also be rather annoyed, actually more than annoyed, to find myself either forced to evacuate my home or losing my home to a fire that was started because my neighbor didn't bother to safely provide for the electrical needs of the lights necessary to grow the "medicine" they "need" for their recreational use. If I must get a permit to expand the electrical supply in my home when I finish a room in the basement, it makes perfect sense that the same be done when adding electrical supply to power enough lamps for an indoor farming operation.

Basic freedom is indeed a wonderful thing when everyone's freedom is respected. Seems to me that the ordinance as reported by The Flume is intended to ensure respect for everyone's freedom is provided for. There are indeed safety issues surrounding indoor cultivation of marijuana that the county has an interest in both for the safety of emergency responders and the safety of others in the neighborhood.

For us that Plow, I start before daylight and several times have been plowing after midnight.
Alot of folks have to leave before 6:am
Loud partying is something else, and as for vehicles if it bothers you then you need ear plugs.
Screw the pot heads, I don't care one way or the other about them.

Actually your plowing late has been bothering me. I will call on that...hey if two more of you join me, that's all it takes to get a law considered, the BOCC told me.

I honestly wonder how many people actually asked for this law and how many people called and asked that it be stopped.

And we will avoid tha obvious solution to all rules, voting on them and not letting three guys that love every rule that has ever been written to decide.

This has nothing to do with weed and growing legal weed in CO affords you more privacy protection than having a gun. No one has the right to know you are growing...so how exactly to we get the basis for searching. A simple smell complaint by a neighbor that is not actually even able to get near the building, how do we decide. If it is just accusation, then there is my point. ANY home that has the interest of being searched can be searched now. The word pot now works just like a key on your front door. That's all I am saying.

But it is cool, a year or so ago people around here did not seem to trust the county officials and the sherriff and now they seem to trust them so much that the traditional constitutional protections (see 4th ammend) are not even needed. That is cool and we have progressed quite a bit, so I back off, this is going to be very cool. The county will be a better place now.

Oh and there is already a law that says if you add a circut, you need a permit. The law does not say that it matters if it is a light or a whatever on that circut, so I am not sure what that has to do with the law. I guess if you friend notes that you have a microwave and a toaster on the same kitchen circut, then I guess even today we are subject to inspection becuase of the same dangers you speak of.

Plus I am curious if those that like this new way of doing things, whether they like it enough to fight for it in the Surpreme court in their taxes. I know we have very low taxes, but do you really want them to go up in order to find legal ways to force yourself into other's homes, just seems like many have better things to buy.

Hey in Keene NH they are getting natl attention for their new proposed armored vehicle to fight the war on drugs, it is more rural around there than here, way less killing and crime. It would be cool for our govt to get that kind of press, I bet it's coming if this doesn't stop.

I seem to have missed the part where it states that warrants are not necessary.... Where did you find that at?
