  >Now you are just going off into weird conspiracy theories I'm not alleging a conspiracy theory. Those are words you are using to construct an ad-hominum by implying my assertion in in bad company.

The police should be realizing there's no grow-op long before any sort of "raid". >The police don't have a list of people they want to punish because it turns out they weren't criminals. I didn't say they did. I said they will routinely prosecute minor stuff they weren't looking for that they normally wouldn't pursue rather than come up empty handed.
