While I dont agree with anyone being arrested for a plant cmon 10 and a half pounds of bud and 355 pounds of plant waste that is black market weight and a spit in the face of those who strive to keep our law intact.

[pic book]

carded or not, if known?

since no pics are taken during the usual raid, the meaning of 'remnants' is open.

also, open is the question of usable/unusable.  raid squads (generally) take no pics.  thus when unusable is found on dry racks it is not checked for moisture content, but is matter of fact, charged as all usable even when wet and won't burn.  

the law nit picks detail, the enforcers do not and treat all the same unless you have images which makes their assertions fact-checkable at a peripheral site off-site.   Generally raid squads see raids as a shot at promotion--as long as a convictions obtained. Non-convictions are seen as a wasted opportunity, a misfire, a defeat.  Promotions, like cash are sought.  Convictions are always bonus-eligible.  To speak up and note in a report that anything found unusable is a certain reprimand.  

And shittiestedly, f planned-parenthood type videos were done of raid squad leaders--they'd all get a raise.
