I am the property owner in this case, and a personal friend of Mr. Strick. For the record, he IS a carded MMJ patient since November 2009. In fact, he lost his wife, to whom he was a caregiver for (in the truest sense!), to breast cancer in 2008. He has no kids, and lived at the house with a part-time room-mate who also is a carded patient since November 2009. I was aware of what was going on and assumed that he was within' his carded limits. Brian is keeping very quiet about this due to his fear of police retaliation. I, however, am furious as they have omitted some pretty redefining details. First, they did not knock as they should have! Brian is a patient who WAS ABLE TO PRESENT A VALID MMJ license(didn't see that in thier report???)!!! Right now, all equipment and some plants remain there! There were also 4 other licenses applied to that address, one is my own! That means that technically Mr. Strick was NOT over his plant limit, but was only not able(or scared to) provide proper paperwork onsite. Of course he was only able to present his personal MMJ paperwork AFTER they blew out my $1,100 front window with a FLASH GRENADE, and battering rammed the door frame into oblivion($650)! Which begs to ask the question; "How does someone give them thier patient information AFTER they have already been "attacked" by the police??? I'm pretty sure putting your patient information outside on the front door is a violation of the HEPA act! I'm not suprised he was unable to find his paperwork for his other patients. I think I would be more interested in cleaning my shorts out at that point. He also was scared to give out his patient information lest they do the same thing to the people whom he is caregiver for. I have a 7 day old baby at home. What if they threw a flash bomb into my living rooom where my wife was nursing our infant? You know...just to see if I'm growing and had proper cards? I now feel like I live in a 3rd world country where I must be aware of all factions at all times. I am furthur troubled by the lack of correct information submitted by the Broomfield Police Department that seems to furthur thier propaganda machine and spin this brutal attack on a citizen into public safety. BPD and Metro should be ashamed of themselves! Hey...at least they didn't pump 7 shots into a Beagle this time. I'm submitting this several weeks since the event. We now have all card paperwork in order it was all predated before the event. Now... someone's released the city code enforcer on us with secret orders to shut us down. I have code violations from when the house was built, right on down to my professionally installed sprinklers! I was then told that my 60-amp waterheater timers and 20-amp plugs that I installed for electrical safety were in violation because permits were not pulled. MY WIFE WAS THEN TOLD IN THE SAME SENTENCE, "THAT BROOMFIELD WAS NOT ISSUING PERMITS FOR GROWS"!!! Sounds to me that growing in Broomfield is not allowed DESPITE the fact that the voters of this STATE said it should be. Maybe the city of Broomfield missed that Obama won the election, and nobody is supposed to be "going rogue"! Between the damage done to the house by police; the impossible list of code violations that must be fixed; and the fact that I have suddenly lost my renter and am unable to legally rent with code violations; I am pretty much forced into forclosure on that property! Way to help the economy City of Broomfield.
