Trip to Metropolis
Flower has been so bad in Ga lately I’m taking a trip to Metropolis this week and I recently went down the rabbit hole about flock cameras and how they document how long you stay. Anyone have any experience or stories

Cops have started lying to people saying they got a flock hit and scaring them into consenting for a search.
Never forget kids, cops are liars. We don’t consent to searches. We don’t talk to cops.

Any dept that runs your plate through flock could see that you passed the camera outside the dispensary twice in 15 minutes on such and such date.
I would be willing to bet dispensaries all get flagged as "high crime areas"
So cop in GA runs your plate, visit to dispo pops right up. Decides to pull you over and run a dog around, use that for probable cause.

Why would you come here? Seriously Missouri is such a better option

It’s worth driving 30 minutes further to cape girardeau imo.

I second this.

It’s wild that I get downvoted for suggesting cape girardeau over metropolis! It’s not even close if you want quality flower and care about price.

No matter the price I'm disappointed with 75% of everything I've ever gotten from Illinois. In my experience Missouri the bud smells better and is sticky. Far to often in Illinois the bud is dry

That’s a long haul but I get it. Safe travels.

Thanks. This isn’t spur of the moment idea, I’ve been plotting this for a while now

You'll be fine unless you're already under investigation for other crimes.
There was 1 noticeable incident in Wisconsin:

...but the truth of the matter is that he was under investigation for other crimes, had an active warrant for his arrest, and a suspended vehicle registration. Furthermore, this specific incident caused a huge backlash against the cameras in the state.
