I feel like a law that allows law enforcement to sell this product to a licensed distributor at fair market value would be a logical law. I doubt that's worth $5m. But even if it was $2m, and the money went back to the county general fund... how would that not be a win/win.
If it went into a legal channel.
Of course the legal growers would be pissed at the competition at the wholesale level, but it's already competing with them at the retail level, so they are already dealing with it.

How much time do you do for "182 PC Conspiracy to Commit Crime". That feels like the most token rookie cop charge I've ever heard of.

That depends on the severity of the crime. Sometimes if that's one of many charges, the court could drop it. It's how the judicial system works and always has been that way and always will in the future unless the state legislators change it. By the way kudos to the CCSO! Thank you, SRS.

I don't think you can take away their property - that's a bridge too far in a free society We don't take away the land owned by people who drink and drive or been those to murder....
But the drugs themselves. Those would spoil. And we can't give those back.

Most of the illegal and a good bit of the "legal" commercial cannabis is contaminated. The State of CA did not ban many harmful pesticides.

Like we really have enough water to do this type of activity?? Get them out of here and put a lien on the property to be sold and recover costs. What low life’s and nerve to invade the hard working American. 20,000 at the border able and willing to do this exact same thing!! Better think about our future before one votes. Very simple indeed…

How funny, sell off the plants that are “infested” with poisonous fertilizer?? Now, for a twisted brain, that makes since. Get these scums out of our county and turn them into law enforcement! We, the people are responsible to do our part…

Stop shooting your stupid mouth off about the border all the time, loser boy.
It just makes you look small.

The border has a lot to do with this. Many of these grows are run by Mexican cartels and they exploit whomever they can to do the work. These workers are coming over the . . . wait for it. . . . the border.

You can't put a lien on the property to 'recover law enforcement costs'. . But you can sell the drugs into a legal channel.

the Cops need to learn to let the fish take the hook, and reel in these scumbags. Of course, the DA will let them go, but thats no shame on them.
