Re: “City of Oakland: Pot Farm Taxes To Net $38 Million Per Year”
Pretty sick. Oaksterdam trains hundreds (thousands?) of graduates to grow what the clubs will no longer buy, now that their vertically integrated monopolies have programmed their captive regulators to squeeze out the little people. Maybe Oaksterdam U can start a new class in monopoly capitalism? Seems like their graduates are learning something about it right now.
Gee, I wonder if weed would grow in the sun?

Re: “Oakland Police Search Without Warrants”
Up in Humboldt County a similar building-code scheme was used to get bench warrants, without evidence, permitting entry to one property suspected of 'code violations,' with a half-dozen armed deputies fanning out from there. The fun part was, case law says cops can operate freely in securing "open fields" near any old non-crime scene--so the cops went warrant-free as far as two miles away into peoples' homes and yards looking for . . . whatever, under cover of the far-off routine, evidence-free warrant. A big stink two years ago toned down this particular approach up there, but the lower evidentiary standard for building code warrants means that even 'warranted' raids can be completely unwarranted.
