Drug house

He isn't going to be living there

Thanks for pointing out the previous thread, Quincy. It seems that the OP is trying to manipulate the facts presented so that she gets an answer she wants to hear.

Maybe where you are from not where I'm from

Who is this directed at?

 

[quincy]

He isn't going to be living there

If the same group will be gathering at the house, the police will be watching.

Right - it never happens to you...only to someone else.

IF you move in as tenant with sole occupancy rights , you are free to go talk to police and invite them in to your home at any time .

Having been there, don't be surprised if past customers/users stop over in search of deals...you may have some short term risky behavior in your area.....hopefully the tenant dealers have moved several blocks away and have zero rights to return ...if the family dynamics have not changed and you are not in firm control of the premises ..then don't move in!

I not trying to get an answer I want. Some things have changed and the drug dealer is getting an apartment with his girlfriend

The house will be known as a common nuisance until the police are convinced that it isn't.

The fact that the drug dealer is a family member means that convincing the police that drugs are no longer being used, offered, sold, manufactured, kept, financed, or delivered from the house will be a challenge.

Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad idea!

Wholeheartedly agree with Zigner.

DO NOT invite the police into your house.

Wholeheartedly agree with Zigner.

Just so it is clear to the OP why it is bad...

You: Officer would you like to look around because this used to be a drug house.
Officer: Sure
Officer: [Finds bag of meth]
Officer: Wow, and you live here now?
You: Yes
Officer: You are under arrest.

And scene...

Once again, this video might be worth viewing, showing how even innocent contacts with the police can go wrong:

I see the point that if there is one dribble of anything in the house and you invite police in and police find it they can put OP on hot seat...especially if she was involved with cleaning up and getting rid of drugs ....around me the police don't seem to care about folks on bottom rung ...but apparently they can squeeze them pretty hard to roll on others and at least locally the DA has a bit of a record of seizing drug houses and selling them ....as others post and I now rethink. ..OP unwise to invite police in.....and OP unless you have a clear lease giving you sole possession and the Moxie to back it up....I'd NOT move in lest brother's GF tosses him and he moves operations back to this home ..bully power et al.

Watch the video.
It's not a matter of whether or not they find drugs in the house...it's a matter of whether or not they find anything in the house. You can't just invite the police in and demand that they ONLY look for drugs.

Maxine is related to a known drug dealer. The house she wants to live in was this drug dealer's house and a known common nuisance.

Inviting the police into the house is not only not necessary (without a warrant), it is a risk to Maxine that is not worth taking.

She would be smart to pass on living in the house and find a better place to live.
