This year has been either a funny year or a sad year, depending on your point of view, for police everywhere in regards to people attempting to produce their own--FOOD! Earlier this year someone was raided in Illinois by the cops because a neighbor reported they were cooking meth (methamphetamine) in their yard, out in the open for all to see. They were boiling maple sap to make syrup. Then I see an article from 2002 from Texas, albeit they appear to still have not learned the difference, where cops raided, pulled up and burned someone's okra patch because they thought it was marijuana. Now, I see a tomato farm (also in Texas!) has met a similar fate. What is going on? Is it a war on drugs, or a conspiracy to make sure people get all their food from the grocery store? And, just were in blazes so they think their food comes from; thin air?
See the articles I mentioned:
