and the problem that they may have is finding these folks, but I and the law enforcement for the Modesto area and we both will speak with the federal guys tomorrow (if they are not able to situate this) and they will mess with these people.

BTW, there's a federal law that states if you have more than 100 plants (at one time) or deal with more than 100Kg (@220 pounds) in a 5 year period, which means that if you have production of more than 20Kg per year (42 pounds) it is a manditory 5 years in prison. The judge cannot wave this sentence, plus the other charges that the law enforcement guys spoke about such as conspiracy, using a gun in action of a felony (which will add 10 years to the sentence in California), as well as the armed robbery, and assult. They will also be checking gang ties which may add numerous more years, or in this case, may be a third strike

Plus the income taxes that should have been collected for all of their business operations..... (they were drooling when we spoke about that one....).

These guys may be in prison for a verrrrrrrrry long time when law enforcement and the IRS gets done with them!!!

This was not right, when you need to use violence to get what you want, you've already lost!
