Florida "D Day" Targets Grow Houses

[Stealthy]

Fuck an apology...make those fucking nazis pay. I would spend every nickel I had to sue the shit outta them for the trauma and stress of their gestapo tactics!
Matter of fact...I'd make a donation to help her with the bills!

They would have had a lead salad plants or not. Something has to be done with this police state we live in! There comes a time when americans need to take their rights back and not go silently into the night.

This shit pisses me off more and more. Project d-day wtf are they killing nazis? Pussy bitches that got picked on in highschool because they suck at life are now terrorizing citizens. Where is the war on terror when it is needed in our country.

What does it take to get a warrant? nothing obviously. If judges started dissapearing with a single certain leaf left as a warning maybe they would think twice. All for the sake of plants that grow naturally and produce a little euphoria.

i wonder how many growers quit after reading these articles? also wonder if that was the plan.

38 houses raided and only 7 busted? thats bad. 31 law suits should be humming along?

Yeah it's actually made me want to grow a few more plants just to piss them off.

What's more disconcerting is that apparently the DEA didn't have a search warrant for the wrong house that they raided. And that pretty much all the houses they raided in that stupid D-day operation were targeted because neighbors called in with their suspicions. Which is scary cause if they don't get warrants, then all that's required is that a neighbor calls in and says he 'suspects' you're growing? So if he doesn't see or smell anything suspicious, but still feels suspicious, that's all it takes for the cops to knock down your door?

 

[Hazelnuts]

Wow, if I had neighbours that snitched on me, I'd be pretty angry right now. I mean what kind of a relationship do you have with the people that live next to you if they go to the DEA without talking to you first?

The operation lasted more than three days. The original post was made during the first day.

The Llorentes said they don't speak much English – they're immigrants from Cuba. They said one of the reasons they came to the U.S. was to escape oppression from the Cuban police.

Isabel Llorente said she never thought this could happen here.

"Never, because they criticize Cuba so much," she said. "I've never gone through anything like this."

Yeah, its kind of hard for me to bad rap Cuba when my government appears to be doing the exact same things. They always tell us its because of the communist oppression, when in reality the DEA interview posted above gives the real reason, "ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!"

Man the fuckung feds and local yocals say and do what they wan't, If your growing there going to try to implicate you on any and every charge they can think of. Such bull shit over something that should me legal. If your Latino your growing for organized crime gang related whether you are or not, same goes for Blacks , Whites or what ever race you are, I mean come on 24 plants, that barley will supply a normal head for a year. I was recently popped with over a 100 plants and really got lucky with my charges and really don;t think I will do time, but just the thought of going to prison for growing a plant that is less harmfull than cigs and acahol is just plain stupid, Im really proud to be an American.....

Josey the Feds did not pick up your case? I just got popped too, over 100 plants, my lawyer told me today that most like Feds will get it. Only thing that may save me is I am NOT a dealer, I grow for personal, and I am fairly picky about what I smoke, so I over grow so I can pick and choose what I smoke.

 

[The_Leader]

how did u2 get popped?

JW?

krys?

If you read through most of the articles, Unfortunately all busted had Hispanic last names. Truly looks like a targeted action.

The more I read about this "D-Day" the more it stinks to high heaven. And no they didn't "all" have hispanic last names. ..

Heres a story about busts in the Keys where they got a guy and his wife with five plants and another kid that had 90. I can understand possibly that the kid was more than likely selling and popped up on LEO radar, but the couple with 5 plants?

Two arrested as part of larger state investigation

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office joined law enforcement statewide this week to weed out marijuana grow-houses in an operation dubbed Operation D-Day.

The coordinated effort involved 45 of 67 Florida counties, as well as state and federal law enforcement agencies.

Wednesday, Keys detectives arrested two Key Largo men for cultivation of marijuana as part of the operation.

*
They first knocked on the door at 921 Plantation Road at 11:30 a.m. Once inside, they smelled marijuana and a woman who lives there opened a small wooden box that had marijuana and paraphernalia inside, Deputy Becky Herrin said. She then took them to the back yard where her husband, Roger Drouin, 56, was. He reportedly admitted he grows marijuana for his own use and turned over five plants that were in his bathroom, along with grow lights, a filtration system, plant food and 118 grams of marijuana. He was charged with cultivation and possession of marijuana.

Then at 1:20 p.m., the detectives went to 53 Tarpon Basin Drive and spoke to Ryan Steele, 24. He reportedly led the detectives to a shed in the back yard, removed a combination lock and revealed an indoor growing operation where he reportedly had an indoor lighting system, wall insulation and other growing equipment. There were 90 marijuana plants inside. Steele was charged with cultivation of marijuana.

Statewide, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami, law enforcement found 152 grow houses, made 135 arrests and confiscated 9,249 marijuana plants valued at an estimated $41.6 million

He probably sold an oz of his harvest to some imbecile, who when cornered by the police him out the first chance he got.

Why was everyone leading the police to their grow? The paper didn't say whether or not they had warrants, but I guess we could assume because it's an "operation" that the warrants were already issued.

 

[Hazelnuts]

This whole thing just shows that you have to be careful as hell when you live in a place where you don't know the whole street or if you sell stuff... And of course it shows the rather odd priorities of the DEA/US government

 

[ncga]

Sorry Some guy . Just fell for the point they wanted the headlines to read.

Even PG&E has some new program about more than one high residential bill

"Intelligence was developed on 47 locations in Broward County where clandestine marijuana grow houses were suspected. Of the 47 houses that were checked, nine actual marijuana grow houses were identified, 302 plants were seized, ten arrests were made, and one firearm was seized."

21% Accuracy for that county. Great intelligence.

in one county the had a bust with 2 plants and try to call it a grow house in the paper. How would someone with two plants be on the radar? All i can think is the sat at a most hydro stores across the state. I mean the was not stealing power for 2 plants lol

 

[SomeGuy]

They obviously sat on most of these cases in order for their stiffer legislation to pass before acting on them.
Then they cry how dangerous these are with all the "chemicals" and electricity, but I guess not so dangerous that they can afford to wait around till they can make a grandstand show out of it. And then to only be 21% accurate with their info as EasyBake pointed out!
Sloppy ass police work but they get a pass because they were able to arrest 21% of the people whose rights they violated.
