If You Are Arrested, Make Your Next Step the Right One
There are many different ways that marijuana grow houses can be detected. Utility bills can call attention to high electricity use from marijuana grow lights. Special drug enforcement planes flying over neighborhoods can detect the heat of grow lights by thermal imaging. Sometimes other crimes, such as burglary, can draw police attention to a home where marijuana is grown.
Regardless of how police came to arrest you, it's important to make your next step the right one. Do not talk to police until you have spoken to an experienced defense lawyer. Marijuana cultivation is a felony, and anything you say can and will be used against you.
Forfeiture laws allow the state of Missouri to seize any property that is connected to a crime or purchased with proceeds of a crime. If you have been arrested for marijuana cultivation, police may attempt to seize your home or any real estate used to grow or distribute marijuana.
