Seriously, that’s what they do. Fly around and shoot the ground with an infrared camera. Some particular signature supposedly tells them it’s marijuana.

String some braided cable up very high around your property -— you know, for lightning protection.

Be a shame if a helicopter didn’t notice it; they could get hurt.

How dumb do you have to be to not recognize tomatoes?!

Somewhere between "mall cop" and "TSA"...

They should consider themselves lucky they weren’t lined up and machinegunned by the police.

I will defend my tomato plants --- with garlic spray!

zremunerated for their losses? Or do they need to sue for compensatory and punitive damages?

This is beginning to look like the remake of “Police Academy”.

Boy, what dummies.

There’s an old joke that goes like this....

A man lives on a farm, he writes to his son in prison - “I can’t grow potatoes this year. I’m too old to be digging up the field.” Soon he gets a letter back from his son. - “You can’t dig in the field, that’s where I buried the bodies!” The next morning, people came from the police. They dug up the entire field but found nothing. Soon the farmer gets another letter from his son. - “Now Dad, you can grow potatoes. It was the best I could do from here.”

Okay I’ll admit that the farm Dude “Lord of the Tomatoes” looks to be a tree hugging, dope shooting, needle sucking, Occupy Wall Street, hippie type person... But He and his Earth Mama need to stick it to the Arlington Police.

Peace Out! ;)

The cops believe they are Nazis and you have no rights. Never talk to a cop.

“...How dumb do you have to be to not recognize tomatoes?!...”

They probably figured it out the moment they saw it, but being “THE LAW!!!” they couldn’t just back down and walk away with an apology and a promise to set things right.

We’re long past Officer Flaherty the Peace Officer and his nightstick asking Mrs. Grady how the wee little ones are doing today while she’s hanging out the wash...

Now it’s “You WILL Comply Or Else.”

Angel on your shoulder that day, friend.

A shame you even have to THINK about something like that happening in your own Country, ain’t it?

Don't mess with Texas....Bewahahahahah.. the raid lasted for an estimated 10 hours.

Well this will cost the tax payers several hundred thousand.....

Armed commando raid, handcuffed, harassed and intimidated over tomatoes?

Add a million or two to the several hundred thousand bucks in lawsuits...Tax payers once again pay for bloated corrupt, inept government....
