How was the homeowner stupid? Growing a hydroponic garden? Tell me now because I intend to do that when I get to Texas.
Putting the vegetation grown in said garden, not being pot or anything else illegal, in the trash, not realizing that some deputy had seen his driver's license in a gardening store and would therefore be searching his trash hoping to hit pay dirt?
As silly as it may seem to some, there are dare I say, hundreds, maybe even thousands, of people out there who have never seen pot, never smelled it, and have no more idea of what pot looks or smells like than whale poop. They ought to be able to go about their ordinary lawful business without interference from these crack... uhhh, pots who see a pot farmer under every bed.
I've researched hydroponics, aquaponics, heavy metal sludge, nitrogen sources, potassium, phosphorus, micro-nutrients, and plant growth mediums, all the while developing a new technology for improving plant roots ability to draw nutrients from various types of soil while reducing requirements for fertilizer. I've used it on my citrus trees, my flowers, roses, hibiscus. I did all of this to learn how to stop killing my citrus trees since I was a terrible gardener and needed help, but if you had a different mindset, you could look at my internet search history and think it was for other purposes. When they start confusing my Whole Foods tea leaves for something else, I guess at that point I will have another opinion.
