Quick Question...

So, I have someone that might be mad at me. This person has 2 convictions, 1 for shoplifting, 1 for possession of cannabis (only got community service).
I have 0 police record thank god. I've been in a little trouble, but I have never been arrested, and I have never gotten a ticket.
This person who may or may not be mad at me might go "OH DAT BOYS GROWIN SHROOMS IN HIS HIZOUSE" to the 5-0. Now, I'm actually NOT growing mushrooms at all 
I'd still really rather not have the cops kick down my door and shoot my dog and family and throw me in handcuffs while they search the place and turn up nothing except for a little bit of personal use droogs that wouldn't even get me time.
How likely are the police to listen to a random tip called in by someone with a record on someone with no record what so ever? How about if that person were to get arrested and shoot their mouth off?
Honestly, I've got nothing to hide except a little bit of buds and psychedelics I use for myself

Depends entirely on the individual officer and how much research they do.
They are supposed to verify anonymous tips by finding actual evidence, but they don't always do that.
Often the evidence gathering comes in the form of a knock-and-talk, or they take your garbage and look for pot stems/seeds.
If you are growing you should move it elsewhere for at least 6 months.

I agree, Locally here they always seem to be be getting someone to collect garbage for them. Usually one of the cops friends that is not known and that blends in more easily. But you never know what that rookie cop may do.

as alan stated, cops are famous for that knock and talk.
if you come to the door and they smell marijuana thats automatic probable cause
as well they'll try to tell you things like 'we already know what you're doing so come clean' and try to get you to admit..the minute you admit to naything they'll obtain you until the search warrant comes thru

You might think your trash is clean, but it probably not. Cops like to find vacuum cleaner bags and check those for seeds and stems.
