I agree with the legal state part, but it was not the energy use of the MRI; it was BS'd from the following:
That is… patently stupid.
Basically he smelled pot.
Thats the only suspicious thing in that chain of observations.
Literally every non-residential building has tinted windows in some way or another- it’s for energy conservation.
Every non residential and a fairly large number of residential buildings have cameras. Yes. To deter would be thieves, but mostly to show what happened and maybe whodunnit, if you’re lucky.
“Similar attire” what the fuck does that even mean? Uniformed? Scrubs? Shit. Everyone in almost every company all wear similar attire when going to work.
Usually job appropriate attire. Which means people doing the same job are going to be wearing “similar attire”.
“They appear to be wearing maintenance clothing- blue jeans, gray polo, tool belts that have [some kind of tools]” is a valid observation.
Or “they appear to all be wearing scrubs, as doctors and nurses wear” or “they appear to be wearing clean room suits”
But what isn’t a valid? “….to do maintenance or expand the operation.”
Well, you see a maintenance worker, them doing maintenance isn’t… too far a leap. But again, literally, every non-residential building has a maintenance guy. That ain’t suspicious.
Right?! And we can't be sure he even smelled the weed he claimed to smell. The other things could be verified by being photographed or requesting documents. But the marijuana smell, the thing that probably made the warrant approvable at all, can never be verified. I wouldn't be surprised if he made it up; hell, they do it during traffic stops so why not for a search warrant.
Why would you conduct a raid without even finding out what the official listing for an address says they do there. Because in this case the bare minimum could have been 2 uniformed cops just ringing the bell.. or an undercover/plain clothes cop making an appointment. But no.. dicks out.. full raid.. probably good overtime.
Tinted windows, security cameras, and uniforms...rock solid proof of a weed farm. /s
That describes 90% of the businesses I shop at.
Why do you shop at so many weed farms???
Sounds like you buy a lot of weed.
wow that's incredibly obtuse
I have no idea what that smells like, but this smells like a bunch of crap
