Gotcha!
Dec 11th, 2008 at 5:50pm
 
Quote:
    KopBusters rented a house in Odessa, Texas and began growing two small Christmas trees under a grow light similar to those used for growing marijuana. When faced with a suspected marijuana grow, the police usually use illegal FLIR cameras and/or lie on the search warrant affidavit claiming they have probable cause to raid the house. Instead of conducting a proper investigation which usually leads to no probable cause, the Kops lie on the affidavit claiming a confidential informant saw the plants and/or the police could smell marijuana coming from the suspected house.

    The trap was set and less than 24 hours later, the Odessa narcotics unit raided the house only to find KopBuster’s attorney waiting under a system of complex gadgetry and spy cameras that streamed online to the KopBuster’s secret mobile office nearby.

I am from a foreign government. This is not a joke. I am authorised to investigate state and federal bodies including ASIO.

Doesn't sound plausible, otherwise people would constantly get raided for leaving the heater on. Are they supposedly monitoring electricity use?

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

So Kopbusters went through the motions of growing an illegal sustance to attract police interest then turned the police response into theatre all the while playing the indignant card. What does this group normally try to achieve?

I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.
