Yes, I counted 6 marked fish and game, with 1 private truck with 2 trailers on zenia van dozen road heading toward zenia at the ruth intersection. Havent seen any marked Sheriff with them yet. Fish and game must be overloaded with staff. Looking like a Police State ! get ready to cross out your 4th amendment of the United States Constitution. Total bullshit if they are on private land.

Some are chipping and shredding their little hearts out near Gibson Creek Rd and Whitethorn School. Thanks Kym! We all appreciate your heads up on these things. Nice to avoid the congestion once they get stopped.

this year, no permits = no plants

Nearly every parcel on Gibson Creek Road is growing.

That’s funny considering it’s a not a felony to grow cannabis in Cali only a misdemeanor…

I think under the new law growing cannabis can be a felony if there are environmental crimes involved. if there’s no environmental issues and it’s your first time then it’s a misdemeanor.

Not true people who paid to be compliant are getting dicked . The abatement letters well everyone keep growing and made it ! Interesting this county doesn’t have a clue ! Yikes sorry for all the peeps who tried and paid a lot of money only to be held back … we all just regrow anyway ! Now hidden

About time! They should have been working every single day this last month!! But no, as always it’s a weak show for the sake of appearances. Same with those abatement letters! On Saturday they issued….ZERO abatement letters?! Should have issued a hundred! It’s September by criminy! Why don’t these guys do their work? And what about Willow Creek? No letters, no eradication, no heat at all! You cannot tell me that all those big obvious grows are permitted so what gives with that? And more importantly- why don’t we see any action taken against these mega-monster-grows that ARE permitted? We all know they aren’t tightly track-n-traced and are moving boxes of weed out the back door into the national market! How’s about bust a couple of those criminals? THEN we might believe the county and state are serious about anything resembling fair play! …And while I’m at it…how about those huge scenes they gave abatement letters to who they then never bothered to visit? They are now pulling thousands of pounds of light-dep and laughing their way to the bank, crashing the market and leaving behind those scabbed-out properties full of liens and fines. Really good plan there, John Ford! You do not understand the criminal grower minds here at all and so your penalties only come down hardest on mom n pop…again. Thanks for nothing.

You are right, my question is is if fishing game is a state agency then why are they doing this all over the state are they getting some kind of Kick Back by Humboldt ? and it’s kind of funny to see them even make it that far we think they’re pretty damn lazy they only hit Highway 36 or 299 usually cuz they can’t get up early enough to make a surprise visit somewhere else, and there’s no way all those big grows are legitimate when the county says there’s only 240 of them so the others are just as illegal, then what are they going to do when the state puts a cap on it and the county didn’t pass everybody but they took their money and so did the consultant ,I see a lot of lawsuits heading this way, I think for every dollar they have collected they will be sued 10 fold

I would say they are getting a kickback from counties like Monterey, etc. they listed the Humboldt Marten for a reason. I expect dead ones containing carbamates any day on the news, national news. the bullshit is thick in this new divided America where no one really knows what to believe. but I do know were martens live and unless you are growing under 2nd growth redwoods or old fir you won’t see one.

feds put up millions for the state and counties to eradicate illegal scenes. Fines, penalties, and land confiscation should generate additional revenue.

there have been numerous articles written on how pot farms have endangered the Humboldt Marten by destroying habitat.

It is actually timber harvest practices in CA and OR that have pushed the Marten to the brink. Yes, cannabis farms also have negative impacts but they are not the most prominent threat to this species.

Old school local. Fish and game are feds not state. They are the local sheriffs IN card. The local cops hands are tied on a lot of the getting onto peoples land and through locked gates. Sooooo…. they use bogus land and water abuse violations to bring in fish and game to make it a “legal” bust. Humboldt only had two fish and game wardens 5 years ago. Now they have over 30. Federal officers only need a reason, not prof, to come on to your land.

And what makes you think that? The kids are safe at school? There aren’t armed guards. The kids have recess. The school was not notified by law enforcement they were going to be RIGHT NEXT to the school. Common courtesy, and common sense would be to at least notify the school right before or send a uniform over to let them know after law enforcement showed up. But, sadly no, law enforcement didn’t really care if the students and teachers and parents may have been in harm’s way by fleeing suspects, possibly armed suspects. That would a totally different Headline.

Force always attracts men of low morality. Are any one of the Revenue Generators in the convoy expert in the interpretation and application of the California state Constitution? Do they have an Oath recorded in the public records?

They’re willing to take your property by force, but not willing to discuss the facts supporting their “Legal” opinion. No matter how you spin it, or how many times the lie is repeated, Billy Honsal was not elected or sworn onto office as Sheriff, so there’s no responsible or accountable chain-of-command in place. Who is giving the orders? Who is pulling the strings? Who signs an affidavit under oath and penalty of perjury that then provides for a warrant to issue? Who is signing the phony warrants? Maybe that step is skipped too?

“Civil” asset forfeiture is premised on the “legal fiction” that property can be guilty of a crime. As a consequence, “civil forfeiture” proceedings target property, not people, and allow for ‘money’ (debt notes), or property suspected of involvement in a criminal act to be forfeited regardless of whether the owner himself is ever charged with, much less convicted of, a crime.

Last year I went to the Supe’s meetings every Tuesday. The (judicial) abatement hearings were then AT LEAST public. Quite the show, as the Supes. assumed/usurped the positions of judge, jury and executioner. Two of the “abatement” proceedings took place without the “defendant” even being present! Due process was lacking in the service of any notice. I went to the property address of one because the $17,000/$18,000 for demolition of the house, was taken out of the people’s public treasury General Fund Account, and credited to the talking heads (18 BAR union members slash County Counsel) account.

In other words, we’re paying for our own demise. The owner and/or grower may be charged all of these humongous fear-mongering penalty fees, but when all is said and done I’ll bet a thousand doll hairs the million-a-month+ (Measure Z Special) safety tax (requiring 2/3 vote to pass and can only be charged in the unincorporated areas), is being funneled through Redwood Coast Energy Authority as a cover-up for revenue investments. Which, btw, is not what a de jure government does –invest.

My two cents.

Yes, Paul E. who owns a 20 acre lot up Pepperwood Springs in Piercy, Mendo Co. you can tell his property by the trash and broken cars all over, I imagine he is waiting for someone else to pick up his trash. He came into my business in Garberville handing out communist literature. [ that explains a lot. ] he went to a Catholic university, was in the same graduation class as Gov. Jerry Brown Jr. that is his claim to fame. why do I know so much about him you ask ? know your enemy and stay clear of them.

Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people’s money. Margaret Thatcher

Nothing is easier than spending the public money. It does not appear to belong to anybody. The temptation is overwhelming to bestow it on somebody. Calvin Coolidge

Lord, the money we do spend on Government and it’s not one bit better than the government we got for one-third the money twenty years ago. Will Rogers

The same prudence which in private life would forbid our paying our own money for unexplained projects, forbids it in the dispensation of the public moneys. Thomas Jefferson

Countries, therefore, when lawmaking falls exclusively to the lot of the poor cannot hope for much economy in public expenditure; expenses will always be considerable, either because taxes cannot touch those who vote for them or because they are assessed in a way to prevent that. DeTocqueville

If the Nation is living within its income, its credit is good. If, in some crises, it lives beyond its income for a year or two, it can usually borrow temporarily at reasonable rates. But if, like a spendthrift, it throws discretion to the winds, and is willing to make no sacrifice at all in spending; if it extends its taxing to the limit of the people’s power to pay and continues to pile up deficits, then it is on the road to bankruptcy. FDR

So many words of wisdom over centuries yet no two can agree on the details. Not even on the unexplained project that Jefferson warned us about.

Thank You Guest, i feel I am out numbered by my belief system, which I think are plain common sense, and they work. I worked for the Telephone Co. for years and the waste is common place, they think nothing of cost cutting measures, If you propose a system that works better, you are shunned as being a trouble maker. When I worked for the beer industry [ Busch , Joseph Schlitz , Miller ] etc. I was required to join the Teamsters Union, this is when Jimmy Hoffa ran the union. The union in reality runs the beer industry. only the union can hire and fire a worker. You are told not to work hard, once an hour make sure you jam up the production line. This way [ I was told ] so the union could hire more people. they did not care about the quality of the beer only more power, more wages and more union dues.
I am not lying. This is reality in big business and sad to say in our local government.

Here are some great sayings for the more intelligent among us. !!

We confess to little faults only to persuade ourselves that we have no great ones.

Nothing is truer in a sense than a funeral oration ,it tells precisely what the dead man should have been.

A truth that is told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

Those who never retract their opinions love themselves more than they love the truth.
