An application for a search warrant for a different Midwest Hydroganics customer, Tomczak noted, stated that police had found no evidence of marijuana plant residue in the trash -- and suggested that was evidence a suspect was covering up his marijuana grow.

Not having evidence of a crime is evidence that a person is hiding a crime?

Yeah...

"Any luck?"

"Nothing. No pot, no pot residue, no pot plant matter, no pot needles. Fuck."

"Obviously growing pot. That's enough for a warrant."

They also looked at her energy usage?

Heck, mine skyrocked in the winter months when my boiler couldn't be used to heat the house.  Everything is OK now, but I had some electric heaters going (they suck up electricity like it's free) as well as burning up probably two cords of wood (next time I'll get more before winter).

No, they were wrong and got lucky.  The small amount of pot they found had nothing to do with the reason they investigated her.

no, it probably means they got tipped off by NSA spying and now they have to try and find a way to justify it with legal information.

Not just hers:
compared her home's electrical bill to that of her neighbors, finding that it was higher


So if I read this right, they viewed her neighbors bills too just to have a baseline.  Not just the person investigated, but the neighbors too????  So just living in the same neighborhood as someone is enough to have your utility bills viewed by law enforcement.  So much for privacy.

Kaminski wrote that he then sifted through Kirking's household trash, detecting "a strong odor of green cannabis" in one plastic trash bag, and compared her home's electrical bill to that of her neighbors, finding that it was higher. Another officer conducted a field test on a green plant stem, which allegedly tested positive for marijuana. That was enough for a judge to sign a warrant.
 



Not an apologist, but that part was for a different customer sunshine, not for this warrant.  Read much?

They're both bad, but the scary one is the completely innocent family who was invaded in the middle of the night. I worry about that because I'd likely end up dead. If people come charging into my house at that hour it's hard to imagine I wouldn't just start shooting and end up getting gunned down.

If that happens I wonder if they'd say "whoops" or if the search would turn up something illegal, probably planted, that they would use to justify the raid. Either way I'm no longer raising my kids.
