“Police in Arlington, Texas are being criticized for their tactics during a drug raid on a local farm that came up empty while allegedly damaging both the property and the crops. Several residents at the ‘Garden of Eden’ sustainability garden were handcuffed at gunpoint by officers during the Aug. 2 raid, which also involved a SWAT team, after an undercover officer and helicopter surveillance allegedly gave authorities probable cause to believe there was marijuana being grown on the premises. ‘They came here under the guise that we were doing a drug trafficking, marijuana-growing operation,’ owner Shellie Smith told WFAA-TV.formerly http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Owners-irked-after-raid-on-Arlingtons-Garden-of-Eden–219354841.html ‘They destroyed everything.’”
