Home raided because of tomato plants

I found this story at http://www.kndo.com/Global/story.asp?S=6336522&nav=menu484_2 which to me looks to be a fairly reputable news source. This man had his home invaded because the landlord said he saw marijuana being grown. OK lets say that the landlord did not know what marijuana looks like because he may not have seen a marijuana leaf which if you look around the Internet or watch a couple of cheech and chong movies. My question is why didn't the landlord tell his tenants that marijuana cultivation is not permitted in the apartment/house. I bet if the landlord would have said that they would have told him that it was tomato plants and probably would offer him a tomato or two when they were ripe (I have grown tomatoes and I know that even a few plants produce a lot of tomatoes I gave bushels away just to get rid of them). I really feel sorry for the tenants who I bet are looking for a new place with a landlord that would not call the cops on them for growing something in their home.

What really tweaks my nipples is that the police did not even question the landlord because the first question would be what did the plants look like and what kind of leaves did they have maybe the second question would be has he ever seen the tenants use any drugs with those answers I would question the landlords statement.

The police did not need to break in to these peoples sanctuary. It is not described in the article I read but I bet they broke the door also we all know cops like to get the high from breaking in a door a treating the people inside the home as if they were Al Capone.

This is just one more failure of the War on Drugs and not even a failure that is even questioned. No government bureaucrat will be held responsible for the violation of the tenants 4th amendment rights and the tenants property rights. These people have suffered a invasion of their privacy.

Did the media question this? Nope they were too busy talking about a old fart on the radio saying something of color and who was the father of some woman that was in playboy.
