Honestly, how many years of storytelling in bars is this public servant going to get out of that garden hose? Solid ordinance work my man, solid!

>local authorities were first tipped off to the unlicensed facility when a local code enforcement officer noticed that a garden hose was illegally attached to the back of the building. That led city officials to obtain a search warrant to inspect the warehouse, which was supposed to only be used for storage.

This scares me more than whatever danger the unlicensed might have posed.

An abandoned warehouse, draining fluid into a parking lot from a garden hose, isn’t probable cause?

Actually, yeah. I'm assuming the warrant was granted to police and that code enforcement don't get to do their own no-knock-warrants. That helps a little but not much.

It's tempting to think of it as parallel construction.
