Your tax dollars at work. They had a big raid in Travis County Texas several years ago (less than 10) involving a SWAT Team with lots of threats and guns and a helicopter landing in a backyard that had lots and lots of Ragweed growing wild. The County paid out pretty good on that lawsuit and the Sheriff didn't run for re-election. A spiteful neighbor provided the "tip".

Good piece of work the for the bureaucrat's, now I feel safe walking the streets of Leroy. The best would have been if they were able to catch somebody holding there cell phone will they were driving then I would feel perfectly safe.

I wonder if in the City of Batavia which would be worse? Actually growing and possessing pot, or the how tall the "weed" was and being fined $250 by the new property rules?

They would hit you with both the fine and the crime. They "need" the money.

I feel for this guy. If he'd been brewing beer or alcohol, he'd be fine and clear. I'm surprised that the town of Leroy doesn't have surprise garden inspections.
