This is Handel on the Law.

Marginal legal advice where I tell you, you have absolutely no case.

Interesting lawsuit.

Suing a utility, strangely enough.

This is up in Northern California, actually it's Sacramento area.

And here is what the lawsuit is about. Whenever there is a pot farm,

legal or illegal pot farm, tons of electricity is used to grow the pot because the lights are you

are on 24 hours a day.

It takes a lot of them.

And there's a lot of electricity.

And one of the things the authorities do is they monitor how much electricity goes in.

So you have a house and all of a sudden a home is using four times electricity, then the neighboring houses.

Okay, that looks a little suspicious.

And what this utility does is turn the information over to the police.

And the police look at it and quite positively, they get a search warrant, there's the house,

and boom, there you are.

Now, the lawsuit is about targeting Asians

because the zip codes that are being looked at are primarily Asian and there are a lot more

warrants and a lot more investigation in these neighborhoods.

Now, there may be a defense to that, and that is Asian families, for example, are multi-generational.

So great-grandationals, so great-grandma lives at home with grandma and with, I mean, they just have piles of people.

That's just a culture.
