The authorities have no reason at all too suspect I am doing anything illegal at all. They are NOT sitting in front of my house with FLIR or any other equipment and as long as I never do anything to draw attention to myself or to allow them to 'make an example' of my grow, they NEVER will be. The people in your story were drawing attention to themselves and seiing as they were distributing without the necessary 'permissions' they became targets. Did they deserve what happened to them, no. But neither does Marc Emory. They raised suspicion on themselves. That is why they were caught and made an example of.
If I am wrong though my friend, after I pay whatever cost I am forced to pay and get out of jail, I will come home, log in and publicly apologize to you for ever having doubted you. Fair enough?
