"It seems from this dialogue that you agree that if the owner did not know about it, then he shouldn't have his property siezed?"

That's the argument that's being made. No, I don't agree with that argument.

Just make sure I understand- your position is that
-the farmer knew about the pot
-his land should be siezed

It sure would be a pity if someone were to plant a pot plant on your property, and then report it to the cops resulting in the seizure of your entire property, house and all.

Although your telling everyone that the cops did the right thing would, admittedly, make the situation a bit less tragic, because, of course, you of all people would express your complete support of the seizure, even though others might protest the action on your behalf in the mistaken belief that there is some sort of injustice there.
