They should know by now that you only go after people who do not have the education or means to defend themselves.
Raiding a couple of former CIA employees is seriously stupid Who knows, the plaintiff may have called in a few favors by now The cops have every interest in being squeaky clean or ............
This is another reason why marijuana should be legal, I'm so tired of hearing about overzealous cops who do this to people in their own homes, as well as young people being locked up for decades who were selling something harmless like marijuana. I hope Colorado and Washington help to start changing attitudes.
I agree. When I was near a pond I did not even want be near some Sulfur Cinquefoil even though I was interested in another edible weed. All I would need is some good citizen to report me for suspicious behavior around what may look like to them like a patch of hemp. Hey everyone is a potential criminal. I think we should search people who have too much wild yeast without a liquor license.
Well there's not much you can do if they had a warrant and probably cause. If anything was damaged they might get compensation. The person who screwed up probably got fired.
Probable cause??????????????????
There is nothing in the link to support probable cause.
The LE management should be FIRED! And if I'm on the jury, I would award this couple a huge sum.
The only way to stop this abuse of LE power is to pay the awards out of their retirement funds.

Agree. Our government should not have the power to tell us what we can eat, drink, grow or smoke.
Government in the USA is way too big and powerful.
I used to have a greenhouse and started many, many, many plants indoors under lights. The cops would have felt pretty silly raiding for tomato plants and African Violets.
Yes, but you would have to prove your innocence. Meanwhile, your life would be a disaster.

Unfortunately 'probable cause' is a very vague and very abused term. Furthermore, if a judge or a Grand Jury signed off on the warrant then the cops are off the hook.
