The officers burst in with sniffer dogs and took samples of the plants for analysis.

Lulu Matheson, who has lived in the property in Shieldaig for 53 years, said she was shaken up by the encounter.

Why are they making so many mistakes, the part that bugs me the most was that they didn't even apologize. What kind of world do we live in now, I don't recognize it anymore, it is changing rapidly! What happened to our manners, did they all go away? There are so many problems with the police force. Something should be done!

what kind of idiot can't tell the difference between a tomato plant and a cannabis plant. they really needed to take sample to test to make sure the leaf was that of a tomato. have these moron cops not been informed as to what a cannabis sativa/indica/ruderalis leaf looks like?

They were bored.
And had to do something to justify there overtime triple time they steal from the tax payers.
So they decide some Tomato plants are Cannabis.

The police keep the crap up they way they are, not long before we hear of police getting shot/knifed on a daily basis here in the UK.

They have got to the point where they think it is ok for us to pay for them, but somehow they are above us and do not work for us.

Also there do seem to be a lot of officers with emotional issues. Maybe they got bullied in school for being small? Now they are looking to exert their might by picking on innocent people who cannot fight back? They sound no better than the bullies to me. Should have to pass a psych evaluation before you can join police imo. Anyone showing signs of power craze should be refused with no explanation (would prevent them re-applying and lying in any psych evaluation).

Sadly enough its not there fault.
They are chosen to have a weak demeanor and low IQ.
In order to easily program them into Robots.
They would bash an old lady's head in if there bosses told them to, and wouldn't even think twice about it.
That is how they want them.
A personal army.

LOL! The amount martial law is already going on all over the globe is insane. People now can't even grow their own healthy natural food, looks like they are already testing some stuff for codex alimentarius at the end of next year. Remeber to buy seeds now, before they get dna manipulated!

I totally agree with you man, lets just hope regular people continue to wake up, at a much quicker speed than current, and perhaps then if we all focus our thoughts and energies on something like the Venus Project we will set ourselves free of these chains that we were born into and become what humans were born to become......FREE AND INDEPENDENT!
Where is that from, ID4 or a JFK speech? Uh-oh looks like this 48hour stint has made me forget, anyway, wake up sheeple and see that you are already ahead of where they had planned you to be, so please continue to SEEK TRUTH!

How are they growing tomatoes in November while living in the UK? In a pot by a window facing south?
I'd hardly call him keen on growing tomatoes.

Danny Butterman: What about... 'Lethal Weapon'?
Nicholas Angel: No.
Danny Butterman: You've seen 'Die Hard', though?
Nicholas Angel: No.
Danny Butterman: 'Bad Boys II'?
Nicholas Angel: No.
Danny Butterman: You ain't seen 'Bad Boys II'?

When they busted in...was there "Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you" playin in the background?

Seriously? What idiot ass cop doesn't know weed from tomato? Sounds like they were lookin for something else and used that as an excuse for probable cause.

I get overly excited about supposed pot factories too. I usually bust in the door with my water pipe instead of dogs though.

I bet them dogs "smelled pot" and thats why they now were allowed to bust down her door. I feel sorry for this lady, a victim of the ever growing problems with todays supposed police officers. I hope one day they learn from these mistakes, but how many mistakes will they have to make, and how serious, before they reconsider their ways? All we can do, is hope it doesn't happen to us.

Kind of hard to mistake a tomato plant which is a vine then a pot plant,maybe the dogs got a whiff of the lady's oregeno threw them off

Might have been a nearsighted neighbor that tipped them off. If they expected it they might have just been going through the motions.
So, where can I get a tomato bong?
