>Now you are just going off into weird conspiracy theories
I'm not alleging a conspiracy theory. Those are words you are using to construct an ad-hominum by implying my assertion in in bad company. I'm firmly of the belief that the cops are rational humans responding to incentives.
> Lots of raids come up empty handed or turn out to have a valid explanation
A "raid coming up empty handed" is exactly the failure mode I'm complaining about. The police should be realizing there's no grow-op long before any sort of "raid".
>The police don't have a list of people they want to punish because it turns out they weren't criminals.
I didn't say they did. I said they will routinely prosecute minor stuff they weren't looking for that they normally wouldn't pursue rather than come up empty handed.
