Pulled over in front of grow shop

Yes, that's right. Like a dumb ass I was going ten miles over the speed limit on a small frontage road that leads to my local Hydroponic store. I didn't even see a cop until I was parked right in front of the grow shop! I'm not concerned about getting a speeding ticket but I am wondering if the police are going to start keeping an eye on my house considering where I was heading when I got pulled over.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
PM

yes, you are definately being paranoid... hydro stores arent ONLY for weed growing. and i doubt they'd waste their resources on keeping an eye on a "potential" grower.. and they dont know if youre only growing 1 or 100 plants.. or maybe even tomatoes.

dont sweat it.. either way theres no point in worrying.. theyll get you anyway once they know who owns the home they'll just find you.

you'll be fine

Better question is; what state or province do you live in?

Yep, I agree. You are only feeling paranoid because you are growing. If you were growing peppers you wouldn't be worried about it.

It's just like getting a knock on the door because the neighbor reported a robbery and they want to know if you saw anything that night. Before the officer even has a chance to say anything you go and show him your grow room because you are paranoid about it and know that is why he is knocking on your door. Yes, people get busted that way.

Myself and most other sensible people know that hydro stores serve many growing needs. But I also realize the stigma that is attached to hydroponic stores and when you're pulled over by the police in a parking lot that only serves customers of that store, in kind of makes your "wheels" start to turn. I'm typically not over paranoid but I do want to be cautious and this incident rattled my cage for a minute.

Thanks for the comments and the link!

Keep growing and obey the speed limit~ : )

don't worry about it.many people get garden suplys for their vegetable gardens at stores like that.

Just because you park in front of a the store, doesn't mean you are shopping there. If the man were writing up customers, he'd be selling ice-cream undercover or some shit like that. And if that cop were smart enough to figure out the connection, he wouldn't be a traffic cop.

I always park a block a way for peace of mind.
