It’s too bad that when sheriff’s deputies raided Justin Bieber’s mansion Tuesday in response to a neighbor’s complaint that the singer had egged his house, their search warrant did not allow them to search for and seize any items not related to the egg-throwing incident.
However, it is my opinion that if any illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia were in plain view in a place where the deputies had a right to search for video equipment, they could have seized the contraband and charged Biber accordingly. It would all depend on when they found the object of their search. If the officers found the video equipment before they ever saw the drugs, then the search would have had to end and they could not have seized any contraband, even when it was found to be in plain view.
JUSTIN BIEBER: TREASURE TROVE OF DRUGS IN MANSION DURING RAID
TMZ
January 20, 2014
Justin Bieber had drugs and drug paraphernalia strewn all over his house when it was raided Tuesday ... but drugs were not on deputies' radar ... TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... when L.A. County Sheriff's deputies searched the house ... there were 2 large cookie jars filled with weed in plain view. There were also 4 - 5 empty codeine bottles in the mansion.
There were also 3 bongs -- 1 in the TV room and 2 in the kitchen.
There were styrofoam cups scattered throughout the house that had elaborate drawings on them ... including the names of the people who used them. The cups, we're told, were used for Sizzurp (also called lean) -- which is Justin's drug of choice. We're told he likes to draw on the cups with markers after using them.
And speaking of Sizzurp ... Sprite is usually part of the mix, but we're told Justin preferred pineapple Fanta instead. There were empty Fanta bottles that were discolored ... we're told from the codeine.
There were lots of "swisher sweets" cigars laying around the house -- Bieber's preferred way to smoke marijuana.
And speaking of weed … we're told Justin has a dedicated smoking room in the house, complete with hookah pipes. Sources say when cops showed up ... some of his friend went into the room and some of the illicit stuff went down the toilet.
As for why cops didn't seize any of these items ... law enforcement sources say they were not on the hunt for drugs -- they were primarily looking for video equipment that may have been attached to surveillance cameras. In fact, cops probably couldn't pry and open jars and such, because it would have exceeded the scope of the search warrant.
TMZ broke the story ... Justin has developed a serious drug problem and his people are pushing him to enter rehab ... something he has resisted.
