[who knows what evil?]

A neighbor with an ax to grind said that we were growing 'weed' in amongst the tomato plants in our garden, so they reported us to the police. Mind you, this is a garden on a busy street corner where it had been for five years, and one of my neighbors is an 'out of town' police officer.

"Nothing was seized." They said they were sorry. This was done so our apartment would be vacated (one way or another).

It worked...out we go.

You must have an indoor garden? Unless you have very clear evidence of someone else’s involvement in “tipping the police off” I would say there are others things that could have resulted in this search. Such as buying anything from a hydroponic shop to grow tomatoes inside. An increase in your electric bill from running the system. A thermal heat signature that shows the pattern of “grow lights”. Such are the fruits of the war on (some) drugs.
