Believe it or not, things like this happen alot, so many of the same warning signs for drugs are seen with people who have fish tanks. High electric bills, glowing lights, chemicals and chemical smells, boxes/bags of stuff being delivered or brought in.
probable cause, unlike many people think, is not a hard thing to obtain... it can be based on personal observations of an officer, or any form of hearsay evidence from another party... probable cause is just enough information to get passed the "reasonable suspicion" level. Sometimes you act on the only information you have, and 90% of the time you end up busting a meth house, or something of the sort. I dont see anyone posting on the good job busts, just the one incident where everyone can stand back and say how dumb or stupid it was. The real world isnt perfect, law isnt perfect, the water heater guy isnt perfect... I commend them on trying to do a very dangerous job. A meth lab is not a safe place to be, and those men and women who bring them down are being put at a very high risk of injury or death...

Re-read my post :]
First line says the low ranked
police did nothing wrong.
Nice try
If they had the "information" they needed to obtain a warrant from a judge who had only been on the bench for less than a year, I don't exactly see how they would beat down a door in the middle of a night of two middle aged (40+ and 50+) people. Had it been daylight, I could possibly understand, however that just struck me as odd, espescially from living in Oklahoma where its worse here than in New York city. Almost all the cases we've seen/heard about have a more sturdy pile of evidence to stand on.
And if you see no one posting the good busts, why don't you go ahead and do that yourself? :]
