INNOCENTS GET CAUGHT IN WAR ON GROW OPS

Re: "Grow op team tags wrong house," April 21.

This is a perfect example of why Bill 25 should not be approved by
the provincial legislature.

We all know that any organized crime marijuana grow op is "hidden"
from BC Hydro and the police through elaborate measures -- such as
purchasing entire gas stations to fuel the lights and equipment, as
we saw recently.

This new BC Hydro, fire department and police collaboration will only
net innocents like the Kucukgozen family, and perhaps small-time
personal-supply marijuana growers who have one to 10 plants at home.

It's not going to have any effect on the large organized crime supply
and exports.

They know how to stay undetected, and the only people who suffer are
honest tax-paying citizens.
