    WTF!

    Police raid home for pot after seeing high electric bills
    Carlsbad, California police raided a suburban home after the family's U.S. $250-$300 per month electricity bills led them to suspect that the homeowners were growing marijuana under high-intensity lamps.

    Instead, they found often-used washing machines and dryers, three computers always left on, a dishwashing machine running often and three children who forgot to turn off lights when they left a room.

    "It's hard to believe a high utility bill would be enough to issue a state warrant," said Dina Dagy, who owns the home. She is demanding a written apology. Police said they have apologized verbally and were following proper procedure.
