Humboldt County Sheriff’s Instagram Features New Method of Eradicating Cannabis

On Wednesday, October 3, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant on an allegedly illegal cannabis farm in the Blocksburg area. They later posted the following video and an explanation of why they chose this method to destroy the marijuana garden on their Instagram.

Their post states, “By hand, eradicating these plants could have taken our deputies upwards of 6 hours. With our special equipment? Only a few minutes. ”

According to a separate press release, “The parcel investigated, located on the 36,000 block of Alderpoint Road, did not possess the required county permit and state license to cultivate cannabis commercially.”

The law enforcement agency said they eradicated approximately 2,139 marijuana plants when they served the one search warrant . As can be seen from the images, the flowers were nearing peak harvest.

45 years ago President Richard Nixon was under attack by the youth of our nation because he was a criminal and they wanted him out of office. Nixon needed a weapon to use against the youth of our nation so he called for the study of the evils of pot. The government hired the best people to study pot spending lots of money. When the final report came out the recommendation was that pot was safe and should be legal. Nixon immediately made pot a title one drug, the worst drug in the world. One aspect of this was people were not allowed to study pot. It was long noted that pot has carcinogens in its smoke but no one ever gets cancer from it. This suggest a massive possibility of finding a cancer cure in marijuana. Since this research was not allowed for the last 45 years 25,000,000 Americans have died from cancer in our nation murdered by our government. Is anyone surprised?

From what I can see and imagine; That machine costs less than a 1 year salaried LEO. It looks like to me that the netting helps the machine pull most of the plants out by their roots in a clean manner and the beads are left with some but very little clean-up-work to ready them again for the next planting.

While I have no problem with HCSO destroying this garden (large gardens have put many of my friends and neighbours out of business), I would like to point out something. Any LEO use of nuisance law should have an inspection warrant used somewhere, not a search warrant. All of these actions are being based on a perceived nuisance. The property owner should have time to abate the nuisance. Failure of LEO’s to do that could result in a lack of due process being given to the land owner, and a civil action could then be brought against LEO’s. If the land owner were to use civil law, as allowed under the Administrative Procedures Act, it could be quite costly to the county, as the evidence was destroyed without due process, and without following the law. Civil fines by the administrative court can be very large, as it is not limited to just loss of property value. In other words, it can be punitive towards the offending party, which in this case would be the county.

Just a thought.

Sounds like something an attorney would conspire as a defense strategy. How much time should the “perceived nuisance property owners ” be given to abate the said perceived nuisance? 60, 90 days? Well in my opinion, yes they can make the corrections on said perceived nuisances simply with a harvest. Then they will have the money to pay the perceived fines and get prepared to do the same thing again the following year. I am sure that LEO has plenty of video, pictures, and other surveillance to defend/prosecute against a potential civil action, on at least 3 or 4 of the (average) 8 perceived nuisances.

There is a legal standard for abatement notices. I recall that California law requires posting in the newspaper, due diligence in efforts to contact the property owner and, if that fails, posting on the property in a conspicuous place 10 days in advance of any action.

No he didn’t, no one would ever put a pump “in” a creek, the engine wouldn’t run. He did in fact have a pump “next” to the creek and the pump line that pulls water was “in” the creek as it should be. Many people are allowed at specific times of the year to pump water out of the creek into storage containers. Btw where do you think many large corporations get their water from? Yep, they get it from creeks and rivers.

I’m surprised the sheriffs have not resorted to massive dumps of Roundup or napalm.

Just wait – they’ll almost certainly try to fine this guy $10000/day for their illegal grading of his property…

I think we need to consider going beyond recalling our BOS. Obviously the sheriff’s office needs to be cleared out and replaced as well. Their obsession with pot growers has directly resulted in our addict & criminal population explosion, and that obviously will not change until WE change our elected officials.

PLEASE folks, register to vote, then show up at the polls and VOTE OUT EVERY LAST ELECTED COUNTY OFFICIAL IN OFFICE TODAY WHO IS ON THE BALLOT.

They ALL need to go, as quickly as possible. As long as we allow them to remain in office, Humboldt County will continue to swirl down the drain.

Exposed soil over the winter wet weather period needs stabilization regardless of whether it is in a raised bed or at natural grade. You can see in the video that it was about to rain. The permits farmers are required to obtain prohibit grading when there is a predicted rain event of 1/2″ or greater. It is important that law enforcement and regulating agencies set positive examples of land stewardship. We know of one case in Trinity County where the Region 1 water board & CDFW required a grower to install a 3′ wide culvert about 50′ downstream of a 6″ wide Caltrans culvert under a road….what kind of hydrologic engineering is that? If the grower has to size the culvert for the 100 year flood flows, then shouldn’t CalTrans be required to do the same? There are many examples such as this one where our constitutional equal protection rights are being violated by aggressive state resource agencies who chose the stick over the carrot to address issues that could easily be resolved through education and collaboration.

Everyone can play whatever game they want in life to get theirs. That is the American way as I see it .

Regarding the draft: we’ve increased poverty and decreased quality of life since the 70’s.

The army pays more than many Americans have the ability to, or incentive to try and make.

The wars continue. Sure, we are losing 10s of thousands of less young people per year to it, but we aren’t in good shape morally.

Thanks hcso for helping me decide to NEVER pay for a permit and im gonna stop paying taxes to anyone besides local schools fire depts and non profits.
You guys get to cause more destruction than what any grower can do, & if this were a mega grow in the natl forest, sure, but this???? Then you guys just leave it all, how the f*k can you think that craps not going to become an environmental hazard this winter? Are you doing bioremediation on the soil so no chems run inti waterways this winter? Cleaning up all netting so no critters get caught? Nope.

They prob did “confiscate” this piece of equipment&person couldnt afford to buy it back. When they took a friends excavator while busting a neighbor of his (yes they do that), he had 100 baby clones, &they said pay us 30,000 for the excavator&youll have it back with no charges pressed. So he did, & grew that year with no problems.
This is the reality here and across our country right now, if you think otherwise you better pull your head our of the sand quik.
Under current DOJ regs, if a local enforcement agency requests assistance from any fed agency, the rules for search&seize fall under federal rules not state, county, or city.

Id way rather see the horribly polluting meth labs and heroin production zones get taken down, if you think those arent all over our county youre really not paying attention.
And for that matter, who are the huge polluting human trafficking Bulgarian grows paying off to not be busted???? They have illegal folks, & lots of guns and no permits, so wtf???

How do you know that was a man’s grow? The person who was busted is not a victim, but the cops that are busting the grower don’t do themselves any favors by using the same methods to destroy the plants that the growers used to destroy the forest. Our law enforcement needs to be held to a higher standard than the growers, or anyone else for that matter, when it comes to enforcing those laws. We should not stand by and allow our law enforcement to sink to the same level as the growers just because they are eradicating a grow. Should law enforcement be allowed to sink to the same moral level as the criminal they are busting? I think that may be a recipe for disaster.

so HSO steals/diverts water from rivers? and all the grading done on these large grows is done with a wee little machine like that? and HSO is pushing dirt over the side so it runs down into the stream? and spreading rat poison all over the place to kill any poor creature that finds it? and poisoning with chemicals? no, theyre not.. my big grower neighbor above me did all that.. poisoned my bees last yr w that eagle shit.. and now i cant drink from my spring.. glad they took their bitch ass back up to oregon so I didn’t have to give them a strong dose of mtn justice.. adios tyler .. hope youre enjoying jail. i feel pretty confident this was a man’s grow.. even though it’s not enough of a shithole to be sure.. but the odds are sooo in my favor so I would bet on it. I agree somewhat with you though that the cops need to be professional and strive to do things in the best way possible.. they do lose credibility otherwise.. like showing us benign trash that is in a pile waiting to be taken to the dump (because thats what rural peeps do.. wait til you have a load) or citing people for having an old vehicle on their property. they will never “sink to their level”..not in regards to the environment (but maybe corruption/greed). pushing around potting soil isnt grading.. digging and ripping at mother earths soil is grading! the p.soil didn’t even leave the bed.

Dredge the river & add more gravel for filtering, build water cachement ponds and tanks, cut back the brush and thin the over growth, produce lumber for building, … just by tacking on a % fine of the sales by the accused. After the wilds are pristine again, the % could go towards helping to relieve other issues. The larger the grow, the higher the % taken. Sliding scale.
Or not.
But, clearly, we need to manage, not destroy.

Did you not see the direction they were pushing all that dirt? You can see they are pushing towards the edge of the property where it slopes off into the drainage. Stealing water out of creeks isn’t right.

Can’t ‘pro-environment’ liberals just take a second to consider that they might be misinformed about humans relation to nature. When euro settlers came to California they did not understand that Native American populations engineered the abundance of our rivers and forests by selective burning which returned nitrogen to the soil and prevented Doug fir and underbrush from draining the rivers dry. They learned this process through shamanic insight, not the Darwinian concept of trial and error that we were taught in school. Not comparing pot growers to native Americans obviously. But maybe, just maybe, we should at some point question the liberal media agenda instead of parroting view points.

Lawlessness is a disease that spreads everywhere it touches. Complaining about being treated unlawfully by the unlawful is pretty self serving. How can anyone not notice the connection between their flipping off the law and being flipped off by it? It’s all of a piece.

From these, Matza and Sykes created the following methods by which, they believed, delinquents justified their illegitimate actions:

Denial of responsibility. The offender will propose that they were victims of circumstance or were forced into situations beyond their control.

Denial of injury. The offender insists that their actions did not cause any harm or damage.

Denial of the victim. The offender believes that the victim deserved whatever action the offender committed.

Condemnation of the condemners. The offenders maintain that those who condemn their offense are doing so purely out of spite, or are shifting the blame off of themselves unfairly.

Appeal to higher loyalties. The offender suggests that his or her offense was for the greater good, with long term consequences that would justify their actions, such as protection of a friend

Denial of guilt is not the same as denial of responsibility. Not too subtle a difference to cause misinterpretation. Assuming guilt because of personal preference is also not a subtle idea.

Sheriff Office is an extension of tax enforcement. Protects the revenue and financial interests of the Lord of the Land. Any other pretense is to distract from this…

Wouldn’t a $20 propane weed torch have worked just as well? No need to haul a tractor out to Blockburg.

A New Galt’s Gulch?

October 4, 2018
By Thomas DiLorenzo

The Bosnian town of Podgora has banned politicians! A banner is strung over the town square that reads “You’ve Been Lying to Us for Years! No Party is Welcome in Podgora!” A few politicians showed up anyway, and were promptly kicked out! (A modest suggestion: This would make a good banner for highway overpasses in America).

The people of Podgora apparently actually believed the neocon spokesmen for the U.S. regime when they informed them that the antidote to socialism was not economic freedom, private property, and free enterprise but “democracy.” Podgorians are now “disillusioned by a political class known chiefly for corruption and dysfunction.” This of course is true of ALL “political classes” everywhere.

What the neocons mean by “democracy,” by the way, is for countries like Bosnia to have puppet governments under the control of the U.S. regime with elections now and then so as to pretend that the people actually have something to do with it. Just like all those “Peoples’ Republics” under communism, in other words. Perhaps the elder statesmen of neo-conservatism were joking when they described themselves as “former” Trotskyites.
