I train jiu jitsu & there are a few cops that train there also. I struck up a conversation after class with one that works vice about grow ops. He said when things are slow then sit outside the hydroshops & run plates, after the plate run they run energy bills & start checking out the place if they have any reason to suspect an op. If they suspect something they generally go through the trash to get a warrant or try to nab somebody after they leave.
