Probable Cause? Ha ha ha....we don't need no probable cause

Sounds like some deputies need to be unemployed.

Not just unemployed. They need to be introduced to "Bubba" as Bubba's new cellmate.

While it may or may not be reasonable suspicion, when you are working a house to develop PC for a meth lab, you make stops on cars coming and going. These stops are done when you develop independent PC for the stop. Some items you may find that are legal, but good indicators of a person cooking meth would be massive amounts of certain cold meds/or empty boxes, acetone, grinders, scales, empty baggies, jars, ect. For the cars leaving you will find people carrying dope, glass pipes, make lots of arrests for warrants and many times recover a stolen car.

Except for the cold meds, that sounds like a lot of stuff I used to buy back when I was building an airplane in the garage, boxes of various sizes and kinds to store parts, lots of baggies and jars for small washers, screws, doohickies of various kinds, gallons of acetone, various scales to weigh parts, tools of all sorts, etc.

Someone could have made a real fool of themselves trying to make PC out of that.

I think you missed the part where these things are not used in and of themselves? You guys are missing the point...

Which is probably why you are a good LEO, and most of us would not make good LEOs.
