A: Have a garden in your basement.

Did that article even mention a search warrant? If so, I missed it.

Not sure I'd want to be f'ing with two former CIA employees, dumb*** cops.

Quote:When law enforcement arrived, the family had just six plants — three tomato plants, one melon plant and two butternut squash plants — growing in the basement, Harte said.

Clearly a vast criminal conspiracy afoot.

I'd respect these guys more if they'd just admit they ****** up and apologized.

Apologizing would involve admitting they made a stupid mistake, and a moron can't conceive of being wrong or stupid...

Apparently the Police obtained the sales records from the Hydroponic Equipment Vendor that sold them the lights, and just decided to kick down doors.

Same thing happened when DirecTV obtained the sales records of a online electronics vendor in Florida back in 2003. Anyone that bought certain pieces of equipment was presumed to be "flashing' DirecTV cards

I guess legitimate uses aren't a good reason to have such things any longer...

Same with guns.

What bothers me about this. Its seems that federal agents are monitoring what someone purchases. I've been doing the same thing this guy was doing for several years now.

If they don't monitor purchases, all they have to do is fly DRONES with infrared... Eventually they'll find some grow lights or a heat lamp, and down comes your door.

This too is part of the Reagan legacy.

Time to end this fiasco.

First they came for the indoor gardeners, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't an indoor gardener.

Dangerous to have a green thumb in America.
