Not just cops, judges too!
Some guy took pictures of an elderly couple's hibiscus plants and showed it to the police. And somehow, the police failed to recognize it wasn't cannabis, despite supposedly being trained to recognize cannabis.
So they went to a judge to get a warrant. And somehow, the judge saw photographs of a hibiscus plant and decided to grant a warrant for cannabis (WTF???).
So they raided the house and it somehow took the cops 4.5 hours to figure out that the plants they were staring at wasn't pot. And somehow, the cops seized the plants anyway, despite filing no charges.
What kind of clown show are they running in that city where NOBODY in that entire chain-of-command could tell the difference between pot and flowers?????
