You guys have an issue with the illegal growers in your county, right? | |
That's right. | |
We're inundated with illegal marijuana growers. | |
It started small in about 2015. | |
About 100 people came to Siskiyou County from some of the other states surrounding there. | |
Before long, it multiplied. | |
People came from all over California and also other parts of the country to set up these illegal groves. | |
Right now, our marijuana eradication team is two people. | |
We call it whack-a-mole because that's literally how it feels. | |
We'll go and eradicate. | |
We'll spend a lot of time and effort to do the right thing and to get things cleaned up. | |
We'll fly a drone over the next day, and there's people back at work. | |
You can recite them all day, but the laws are written so poorly, there are no consequences. | |
When you are part of a criminal industry and have so much money, the $500 fines aren't going to matter. |
