I'm having a very difficult time comprehending how plant lights could even remotely be construed as "probable cause" -- don't the courts have any idea of the millions of little old ladies (and whoever) who use plant lights for their house plants?

Look at the economics. If you shoot a few innocent hispanic kids, even a millionaire or two, and pay out a few mill in compensation, you still get to grab all that other loot, plus the fed fund$ you get for free.
