Mike,
Your post pretty much says what I was saying previously: No one should be surprised by a raid, given the facts - pot growing, 200+ cars, etc.
And though I hesitate to open this can 'o worms, I've got to agree. Some folks' posts are decidedly biased, leaving out important facts, fabricating and misintrepreting facts to make a case.
I like what Mayor Gulliani said a few years ago, modified to fit this thread:
"If when you're 20 and you're not a CONSPIRATIST, then you don't have a heart. But when you're 40 and you're not a PRAGMATIST, then you don't have a brain!"
