With all due respect Babba, this was an LA dispensary, not a Norcal one.
I could easily see how this could happen in norcal, especially with an outdoor crop, but in LA the dipensaries don't harvest nothin', they just buy from vendors so these guys were able to procure 209 lbs continuously from mostly indoor grows (which is a highly commendable feat in itself) because i think it's highly unlikely a majority of that 209 was outdoor. LA customers just seem to buy more indoor then outdoor IMO.
Assuming that the OP is correct about the case, who gives a shit? The warrant was given on false pretenses PERIOD. Which means they didn't have any right to go in there and search and seize shit. If the LAPD wants to go after dispensaries, let them go after those that aren't operating within the state laws. And if they think they have some magic bullet like they seemed to believe, they either have failed to show it or it was a lot more disappointing than any of us thought. Oh and maybe they should make sure they get their warrants straight and secure before they spend our public dollars to raid places that most American's believe have a right to exist. One of these days they will issue one of their willy nilly warrants on a real bad person and they will have to watch him walk based upon the technicality that they didn't have proper and correct information to justify their search.
