What happens if you buy grow lamps and use them in Odessa, TX? Apparently the police will raid your house.
Activists protesting the behavior of the Odessa police department did just that. The bought grow lights and began growing Christmas trees. In 24 hours, police raided the house.
So using perfectly legal equipment in the manner exactly for which it was intended, is reason enough for the police to raid your house.
The site where the story originally appeared is currently off line due to high traffic; it may be accessible later one. It's here. You can also read about it on Reason.Com here.
Keep in mind, this sort of thing doesn't just happen when someone sets up a sting. It happened in Pullman, WA, too.
