WHY STOP AT PROSECUTING LANDLORDS?

Editor, The Star, Sir,

Re: 'Police bill 'grow-op' landlord', The Star, Aug. 15.

Why stop at charging the landlord for not doing police work?

Why not evict or seize the assets of neighbours of pot grows? Surely they 
must have known and therefore are guilty as well.

Why not evict or seize the assets of relatives of the landlords? Surely 
that will stop pot grows.

Or maybe we should burn down all pot grow houses. Surely that will teach 
these landlords a lesson.

One other thing, how can the police say its ok for landlords to snoop 
around tenants while the police say they have to go in with their emergency 
response teams with guns drawn? Surely the landlords should be armed when 
they snoop. And what about the booby traps they tell us about?

What about the fraud our police are committing against communties as they 
tear them apart to wage their War on Pot ?
