The Associated Press reports:
New Hampshire’s highest court has upheld a woman’s marijuana-growing conviction, ruling she had no reasonable expectation to privacy in a wooded area of her property from which police observed her house and detected the smell of marijuana coming from a vent.
Patricia Smith of Haverhill was charged in 2009 after police raided her house and found a pot-growing operation and 120 plants. During court proceedings, a superior court denied Smith’s motion to suppress evidence.
In appealing to the New Hampshire Supreme Court, Smith’s attorney argued that police violated Smith’s constitutional right to privacy and protection from unreasonable searches when they essentially conducted a stakeout in the woods behind her home.
Watch the following videos produced by myself and Garret Ean of Free Concord. When watching, ask yourself if you want to see Patricia Smith caged for growing her own medicine, in her own home. If you’re a citizen of New Hampshire or the United States this is being done in your name, with your money.
Fr33Agents.TV will be releasing two more videos this week from the same conversation that Bob Constantine and I had with Nurse Patricia. Footage from these conversations can also be found on the January 30th episode of Free Keene TV.
Click on the images in this post to view the three previous videos that Bob and I produced to bring more attention to the plight of a peaceful woman whose had her life destroyed by the State.
The arresting officers said they drove by her house and saw a heater vent and later when the vent went off they smelled marijuana. I don't believe that since the vent is at the opposite end of the basement where her "dangerous cultivation" was taking place. What they smelled was heater exhaust, it's a power vent for a heater in her basement. They said that to procure a warrant and protect the identity of their informant. They also trespassed on private property (her neighbors) to get to her property to conduct their spying. They admit to being on her property… Read more »
This woman knowingly and under the influenced treated men, women and children while under the influence of pot.
I cant think of a better example here and all she gets is 4 years…
Whatever
enslave go away.
get a life
david, hasn't your 30 minutes expired yet?
enslave go away.
get a life
"A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs."
All the cops, lawyers, judges, public officials, involved in sending this woman to prison, – you should all be ashamed…
What a huge waste of taxpayer money…
Because we know that "enslave keene" claims to support this travesty of justice,
tell us, "enslave", how much would you be willing to kick in, out-of-pocket, to jail this woman?…
What is freedom worth to you people?
What is YOUR freedom worth?
🙁

david,
694.00$ the same amount I give you on the 3rd of every month.!!!
Sorry I meant Bradford, not david….
you'd be surprised at the number of addicts that are nurses. Easy accessability to pills, but those aren't really much of the problem. I've personally seen nurses drinking at work in several different hospitals. Marijuana, cocaine, meth. . . it's all there.
In my drinking days I stayed at a rehab facility with a nurse who told me that she drank everyday before work just to get through the day. It's a real problem.
4 years in jail isn't going to solve anything. Here's to Enslave getting a drinking nurse when she's popping in a catheter. I'll drink to that!

Your full of crap Anton, "youve seen nurses drinking at hospitals?" Yea ok, they are doing somewhere a patient can see them?
Good try with schemantics, now back to the real world!
So brave.
An obvious travesty of justice and shame to any of you who think otherwise. When you pay your taxes, remember you are paying to keep this woman in prison, needlessly. If a cop can snoop around her house, it could be yours next. Don't forget that. This isn't just about the use of medical marijuana, it's about a dogmatic, sadistic system ready and waiting to infringe on your civil rights whenever they want. "Oh but I don't do anything wrong or illegal. Nothing to worry about." If they decide it's your time, it's your time. They'll figure out a way… Read more »
Enslave, how to you know she was high when she was a nurse on duty? I got questioned once about being high on duty, but i wanst, so how do you assume she was
"Here’s to Enslave getting a drinking nurse when she’s popping in a catheter. I’ll drink to that!"
Of course you would dirty hypocrite. "Peaceful Evolution"….unless it is people who disagree. You drink to suffering, yet cry foul when it is one of your own. Your true colors paint a swastika…..IF….you ever had power. But you don't. And you never will. There are more students in Keene High School then there are freestaters – LOL.
Yeah sure Beth. Those cops just woke up one day and decided to pick on this woman to destroy and in the process happened to hit the jackpot with fifty zillion plants growing in her house. Shut it.
Great points Beth, thanks for bringing them up. Matt, Those cops didn't just pick her, an informant neighbor turned her in. That formula of "tell on your neighbor" foster's a Police State mentality. One other irony is the police always seeem to "forget" the names of the informant. In many instances the informant is a "real criminal" that actually harms others or their property. The number of plants reported was not accurate either, not that it should matter. Cannabis according to Judge Francis Young, a DEA judge in a 1988 ruling is not a harmful substance. Even more irony… a… Read more »

Mmmmm , no they cant. I cant remember the last time the cops went to a house for the hell of it and found nothing. Doesnt happen.
@Bob
Oh so there are "real criminals"? What would constitute that? With the exception of a cop giving the boner to the videotaper? You guys rock!
In Fitchburg Massachusetts earlier this week FBI chainsawed the WRONG door down and held a mother and child at gunpoint until they FINALLY realized they had the wrong address. there are many instances of Police aggression, for instance in Missouri cops shot the family dog and terrorized a family for an early AM "pot bust" that yielded VERY little. That's terrorism. "Real criminals" initiate aggression and do not respect another persons natural right to peaceful self ownership. Natural rights are supposed to be protected in New Hampshire, not stolen. Art. 2 NH Constitution expounds on this, but commonsense also should… Read more »
The still frame of the 1st video is just precious!!
It screams with "Im not sorry, just sorry I got caught"
Not buying it!
Not on my watch!
Being "sorry" would be appropriate if Patricia had harmed another person or stolen from them. In this instance Patricia's money was stolen and she was harmed by strangers with guns that work for an organization that decides what people can or can't do with their own body and property. In a rational and just world she is owed the apology and I think even the trolls know that. That's probably the reason why one of the arresting officers could not hold my eye when I lectured him on his immoral act the day of Patricia's trial. His reponse was a… Read more »

Enslave gettin' all Darryl Dawkins ? Then you must remember World B. Free ?
Read this, Prohibitionists: http://www.std.com/obi/Police.Notes/Nashua.NH
Maybe, they might mistakenly show up at "enslaves" door.
It's amazing that after 40 years of failure, while caging nearly a million of our fellow Americans and wasting a cumulative $40 Billion, annually, the Powers that be are asking for more time and more money.
Legalize and Regulate marijuana as we do alcohol. Legal venders won't sell to minors but Black Market Dealers will sell to everyone.
Ironically, the State sells Alcohol on the highway but rails against marijuana.
Then the Police can focus on true crime, ones that actually have victims.

World B Free, Cleveland Cavs in the 80's…
I believe World B. Free aka Lloyd Free had a stint in the city of brotherly love, where the liberty bell resides with the Philadelphia 76ers as well. It's amazing that you channeled his old running mate Chocolate Thunder (Darryl Dawkins) in your erm "poem" and here we are discussing a guy that just wanted the world to be free. What a concept, a free world. Thanks for getting us back on topic Enslave. I think you are getting this freedom stuff in a subliminal osmosis kind of way. There is hope for you yet. Kudos to your poetic mentor… Read more »
NIce reference. I dig osmosis!!
Although Llyod Free did change his name to world as a ode to an old neighborhood friend that nick named him that for his 44 inch vertical leap and 360 deg. dunks. The name held no political weight to World himself
just saying.
While I agree that the name World may have been a reference to his basketball talent, I don't think the name "World B. Free" was insignificant or beyond having an intended double meaning. I submit that World B. Free would come down on the side of liberty if he were asked. I think I'll call him and find out, my thought is we've both lost a little spring in our vertical leap sincve the late '70s. I think World enjoyed a bit 'o the good green herb himself….just saying.
Being born in 1970 I definately lost much leap…
…and once again Enslave you channel liberty. "Leap" = Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. Damn that subliminal stuff is powerful!
Not this boy..
enslave,
you must have heard "shut up and go away" a lot in your life haven't you. 🙂

The blog will be so much more attractive with david, the KiNg oF KeEnE, and lil justy offering the dissent because the three of you are just so articulate and thoughtful with your own lives that it is no doubt you should council others!!
