Detector(s) used
ace 250
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
I got up early this morning to go detecting and decided i wanted to hit the quarter corner because it is close to where i live.
I got there around 7 a.m. and i started getting decent signals and was digging the ordinary clad we all find .
At around 8:15 it was getting hot and i was thirsty and started heading towards the car to get some cold water i had in my cooler when i hear a whump, whump, whump, whump sound and here comes a large black helicopted over the tree tops and began landing about 25 feet from my car.
I was like what the heck is going on/
When the helicopter is on the ground out steps three kentucky state police troopers who started heading my way and with serious looks on their faces.
I was like hows it going today, whats going on?
They told me they had a complaint of someone possibly planting marijauna plants and asked me for an identification and wanted me to come to the helicopter for questioning.
I told them i was only metal detecting and i have permission to do so. They ran a check on my license, car registration and serached my car ( with my permission ). After finding nothing they took off without saying anything and was gone.
After that i was like real ready to go home and get a shower.
Hope you all have a better day than i did,
Allen

Dude that is wrong, they have to have a search warrant to search your personal belongings or else its illegal. You should have wrote down their badge numbers or something, or complain to the chief of police about their actions.
It really is worth it to report, some people abuse their powers.

Its not illegal if he gave them permission to search.
