This is a great example of urban farming, and how easily you can make it work with just a very simple setup.

I read this article a while back about the police setting up a raid on a grow operation, which they spent months planning and getting the paperwork.
Then when they kicked down the doors of the apartment they suspected to be growing marijuana all they found was a handful of college students growing hydroponic tomatoes to sell at farmer's markets to offset thier tuitions.
Hilarious.
I wonder if this guy ever gets the gears from the police thinking hes up to no good.
It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

Somehow I knew you'd like this.brb, growing "oregano"
That's awesome. I know bitcoin farmers get busted sometimes too. They really need to go off of more than the electric bill.Hehe, racism.

I don't think they can establish probable cause purely off of that. Did the PD just call them/knock on their door?

I'm sure you know, but high power bills are a telltale sign for indoor grow ops
Not that it matters, the police and DEA can honestly do whatever they want
They have a list of exploitable loopholes, but so do we

I mean, you can't get a search warrant without probable cause; power bill alone (from my understanding) isn't enough to form probable cause so they can't just bust your door down.I'm sure you know, but high power bills are a telltale sign for indoor grow ops

1. Present sparse amount of evidence to judge [a judge, mind you, that you're buddy-buddy with, you guys will probably have brunch later that day]
2. Receive search warrant
3. Raid house
They do it all the time
Most people will have you believe they need a mountain of evidence, but in a lot of places [like California] where illegal grow ops are a persistent problem, the bar for "probably cause" gets lower and lower

More often than not it is. My cousin got raided by the DEA because a disgruntled employee said he was running a meth lab, and he's been arrested on marijuana charges before, nothing else. The found nothing, but took his vacuum sealer because it was drug paraphernalia.I don't think it's that simple, though - if the only probable cause is the power bill I'm pretty sure any court would throw out the evidence obtained under a violation of the 4th amendment.

Can I just ask? Do your state laws over-ride your federal laws? Because I see so many laws that have been passed that I would consider 'unconstitutional', the one for instance where biology was banned in some southern state schools and replaced with creationism, surely the right to teach biology is covered in your Constitution under freedom of speech?
