A Suspicious Electric Utility Bill?
A Carlsbad California family was subjected to a lot of undue attention from authorities for having, what police described as an unusually high electric utility bill. Solely based on the family�s electric utility usage local law enforcement officers were able to obtain a search warrant to gain access to the family home in search of a marijuana farm. What they found instead was a typical modern American home; with lots of laundry, kids that do not turn off lights, and power hungry computers, but no marijuana.
