    How Long Do the Police Have to Get a Search Warrant
    My question involves police conduct in the State of: Florida

    Last Monday a cop knocked on my door. I did not answer and he went away. At the time, there was a strong smell of fresh marijuana coming from my house from cultivation. I was able to get everything that was causing the odor out and gone.

    It's a week later and I've heard nothing.

    My question is if a cop had probable cause of a MJ grow, how long would it take for them to get a warrant and come back?

    Chances are they are not going to be too excited by the odor of marijuana coming from inside the home. Since the information has to be reasonably fresh to be acted upon, if they did not serve the warrant already, chances are they are not going to. Unless, of course, they believe you are cultivating or selling ... if you were doing either, then it is possible that they have had people tell them what is up.

    Unless you want to keep living in a state of ever increasing paranoia, I would suggest you stop smoking dope.
