as long as you have a card and are under the legal limits they wont fuck with you. if they were feds they are looking for 100 + plant grows, federal crimes.

when they were hovering they were probably counting your plants just for this reason.

you should build an awning over you plants with a tarp. next time you hear the choppers pull the tarp over them and give the popo the figure from the ground. you could even get some transparent plastic to put over them so the sun gets in but not prying eyes. in other words... looks like you need a greenhouse.

the problem is that even if the feds charge you they have to try you in Cali, they know a cali jury isnt going to convict someone for growing a few plants for thier backpain, they need people that are OBVIOUSLY doing it for large profits.

you might come back to your house one day and all your plants might look like someone poured acid on them, thats what they did to my plants in jersey that i would plant out in the woods. they dont even get out of the chopper anymore they just spray it with chemicals.
