I was being sarcastic. That is the line that is used when you turn down a search request when LEO do not have PC.

It is unfortunate that that line is said seriously by so many Americans now that it is difficult to tell who is using it sarcastically.

Perhaps we need to color code sarcasm so we can tell for sure?

I'm not sure if your post was made in jest, but the idea that you need to be confrontational with the police, to the point of using deadly force to prevent them from looking into a potential, criminal activity, warranted or not, seems a little too over the top.

That is exactly what I want to avoid. I have a 2 year old and a prego wife if it were just me, I might have a different attitude.

This is what I was thinking.

Just a side note, during my time as a LEO, most illegal growing operations were found not through heat signatures, but through a sudden increase in electrical usage. When the electric company came out to investigate(usually to see if another home had been put on the same meter), the perpetrator was discovered.

I normally suggest purple, but if you want to be REALLY sarcastic, then fuchsia.

Pickled okra is good too. All my grandkids know it as "fuzzy pickles".
