That must be the politically correct way of saying it looks like a bunch of Mexicans where camped out. There have been quit a few cases where armed Mexican nationals where arrested guarding huge crops in national parks. I saw footage where they where finding Spanish language magazines, refried bean cans, tortilla wrappers and all kinds of shit like that, no joke. I seriously doubt these would be your average day laborers working some old hippy grower's marijuana field.
It makes sense when you consider the Cartels position. They have access to a large network of desperate people with the cash flow to recruit them, and the ability to control them through threats of violence against their families in Mexico so they aren’t taking off with the product.
I don’t think the growing trend can be blamed on efforts to demonize cannabis alone. If anything this should actually further the argument for legalization and taxation. That way the criminals are shut out of this business for good.

I wonder what they would say if they had found a 'Gypsy Kings' CD......a bandana and a tambourine?

I smell a rat ... and that rat wears a badge.

Anyone who thinks that the various California LE organizations are even-handed, play fair, or abide by the law are delusional. Why would local LEOs, through their professional associations, be directly involved in trying to influence pending MJ legislation -- aren't they there to enforce laws and not make laws? Isn't that the purview of the legislature?
The truth is that efforts to reform State law regarding re-legalizing MJ will have a direct impact upon LE / local DA fiscal bottom line. Asset forfeiture in criminal cases will shrink; budget constraints might force a RIF among LEO, prison guards, DA offices, and even criminal lawyers. And since they all have a "dog in this fight", their motives are suspect -- follow the money trail.
Here's an alternate and IMHO just as likely a scenario: The .22 caliber weapon seized by LEOs was pointed at the rear of the lead vehicle and discharged, by LEOs themselves, as they returned to base for propaganda value in yet another attempt to cast the November referendum in a negative light. This hypothesis is just as valid as the LEOs POV ...

I spend a lot of time in remote areas in the NorCal national forests and there are a hell of a lot of Huge Mexican grows. This is the biggest problem going these days in the whole MJ deal. In the '80s and '90s I was never too concerned when I encountered grows by local people. They were generally a few dozen to a couple of hundred plants. I would just ease out of the area the way I had come in.
Nowadays there are groups of armed Mexican nationals camping and growing huge numbers of plants,like tens of thousands. This situation is not good for any of us.
I know lots of growers in Mendocino, and they get their Prop 215 paperwork in order and grow on their own land. They don't have problems with law enforcement. Anyone these days growing on someone else's land without permission, especially lots of plants deserves whatever problems they have with law enforcement.

Strapped U.S. Police Turn to Marijuana Busts for Cash
Published July 03, 2010
Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko, his budget under pressure in a weak economy, has laid off staff, reduced patrols and even released jail inmates. But there's one mission on which he's spending more than in recent years: pot busts, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
The reason is simple: If the California lawman steps up his pursuit of marijuana growers, his department is eligible for roughly half a million dollars a year in federal anti-drug funding, helping save some jobs. The majority of the funding would have to be used to fight pot. Marijuana may not be the county's most pressing crime problem, the sheriff says, but "it's where the money is."
Washington has long allocated funds to help localities fight crime, influencing their priorities in the process. Today's local budget squeezes are enhancing this effect, and the result is particularly striking in California, where many residents take a benign view of pot but federal dollars help keep law-enforcement focused on it.
To make sure his office gets the federal funds, Bosenko since last year has spent about $340,000 of his department's shrinking resources, more than in past years, on a team that tramps through the woods looking for pot farms. Though the squad is mostly U.S.-funded, the federal grants don't cover some of its needs, such as a team chief and certain equipment. So, Bosenko has to pay for those out of his regular budget.
He doesn't doubt the value of pursuing pot farming, which he says is often the work of sophisticated Mexican gangs and leads to other crimes like assault. But other infractions, like drunken driving and robbery, may have a bigger direct impact on local residents than pot growing, he says.
The pot money is "$340,000 I could use somewhere else in my organization," he says. "That could fund three officers' salaries and benefits, and we could have them out on our streets doing patrol." His overall budget this year is about $35 million.
The U.S. Justice Department is spending nearly $3.6 billion this year to augment budgets of state and local law enforcement agencies. In addition, the federal government last year set aside close to $4 billion of the economic stimulus package for law enforcement grants for state and local agencies. The White House also is spending about $239 million this year to fund local drug trafficking task forces.
Much of the federal money helps local agencies go after sophisticated criminal gangs and hard drugs like methamphetamine. Even staunch supporters of legal pot don't dispute the value of that.
