I for one am sick and tired of the "authorities" choosing the smash in the door with guns drawn as the first option.

So am I, but I doubt they smashed in the door in this case. As I understand it, that sort of warrant serving is only legal when the police believe that the occupant of the house could get rid of the evidence if they are given a bit of time. As the full sized plants were outside in the front yard, that doesn't seem to apply here.

"All of a sudden, they burst in with their guns loaded, pointing at me, screaming, 'Get on the floor! Get on the floor!'" northwest Harris County resident Blair Davis told KHOU-TV.

Sure sounds like a dynamic entry to me. I don't think common sense or legality concerns these folks.
