A fuller report at HuffPost.

Classic Big Brother mindset:
"Kaminski wrote that he then sifted through Kirking's household trash, detecting "a strong odor of green cannabis" in one plastic trash bag, and compared her home's electrical bill to that of her neighbors, finding that it was higher. Another officer conducted a field test on a green plant stem, which allegedly tested positive for marijuana. That was enough for a judge to sign a warrant."

and this corker of rationale (italics mine):

"An application for a search warrant for a different Midwest Hydroganics customer, Tomczak noted, stated that police had found no evidence of marijuana plant residue in the trash -- and suggested that was evidence a suspect was covering up his marijuana grow."

These people reach new heights of idiocy each day.

A true Yossarian moment.

So if you have weed in your trash you are a pot grower. If you do not have weed in your trash you are a well disciplined pot grower.

Is that the same force that found tea used for iced tea in a family’s garbage and busted into their home?

[Still Thinking]

So smell = evidence, AND no smell = evidence. I’d call them morons, but that would be insulting to innocent morons.

Hey give 'em credit for that at least.
