I had a renter; a couple in their late ‘50’s; “boyfriend, girlfriend” if you can believe it. Apparently he beat her regularly and the deputies could find the place blindfolded. So, one day they’re both drunk and he’s beating her. So, she calls 911. Within sight of the door were 48 pot plants, half of which were under the porch.

The three deputies calmed things down, put them to bed, then left. Later that night; 2:00 AM according to the neighbors, the sheriff hit them with 12 SWAT team members armed with automatic weapons and an assault vehicle.

This is SO stupid on so many levels. (The SWAT guys smashed in MY door. I assure you all they had to do was knock.)

When I was in college a student called the campus police to report another student had stolen his pound of pot. The police arrested them both. (Twofer.)

So, they needlessly risked people’s lives, including law enforcement, when they could have arrested them easily.

When they do that, who pays for the door? The police, the insurance company (to raise your rates later), or you (getting only the sec. deposit for compensation?

They didn't even have to knock. They were already there.

They couldn't have been very healthy then.

Pot needs full sun to develop.
