Some group took an empty house, put marigolds or some kind of regular plant in trays and put gro-lux lights on it - the very first night they did, the local law enforcement went to a judge, got a warrant and broke down the front door as the SWAT team stormed the house - They were greeted by the head of the local group standing there with their attorney.<<<
No, I missed that report.
We have so many growers of pot here and greenhouses of it, plus the meth labs, that I don’t blame the swat team for doing a raid on them.
There was one place with a greenhouse listed in MLS for sale, I missed the tour that day, but my Broker went, she said it was designed with a huge pit in the middle, so if someone managed to get in the greenhouse and was not forewarned, they would fall in the pit and alarms would be going off.
Another kept mean Geese in there pot house.
Here, they use the vacant houses for meth labs and some poor real estate agent will sell one and then have a lawsuit that costs them more than the house is worth, and has to pay to have the house stripped, for in cooking it, it is in the walls and all the cracks.
Here the law is that the real estate agent “should have known”.
The cops checked my greenhouses often, I knew it was going to happen and ignored it......as I hate all types of dope and the death and destruction that it has caused.
No, I did not say I would welcome a swat team, but if I was a cop, it would be a swat team that I would want backing me up.
I wish that everyone would listen to the police scanners for their area and learn what is really going on and not stick their heads in the sand.
You can listen on the internet, I do.

I listen to several different cities and states here:

Granny, believe me, I understand. My big objection is that instead of stopping by and asking, some go to extraordinary lengths to ‘snoop’. Take one person I got to know when I had greenhouse tomatoes. He had 2 whole greenhouse full of ripening tomatoes and one January day one of the helicopter patrols decided they ‘needed’ to take a closer look... Blew the covers off 2 32 X 96’ greenhouses - he lost both houses of tomatoes. This on top of the fact that the local police chief lived two houses down and used to come over and buy tomatoes from him regularly. The State Chopper Jockey decided on his own that HE was going to score a big hit.
In the process, he came darned close to crashing the $1.5 million dollar taxpayer owned chopper as the covers swirled up and were coming toward the rotor.
My brother in law (the one who gives me a deer of two every year) is a Lt. Detective Lt. in a large city here in the east with a big drug problem. He has even worked several years undercover. Yep, I know what they are up against, but he always tries to apply an ounce of common sense to the situation.
I also hate drugs and what they have done to our society (and have never been even interested in trying any.) but as my grandfather used to say - ‘There are other ways of killing a cat besides kissing it to death.’
I second the idea of listening to the scanner. It’s an eye opener for sure. Granny is right. There is so much stuff going on that the news sources ignore.
