Laura Benson of Union County, Illinois was shaken when drug agents rapidly swarmed her home. At first Benson thought her son might have done something wrong, but then she was surprised to hear that the agents were there to investigate a reported meth lab on the property. "They pointed to the buckets and I told them my husband has a hobby of making maple syrup. Of course they realized it once they seen it," said Laura. Apparently someone saw the maple syrup collection tubes and buckets and thought it looked suspicious, so they called authorities. The Union County Sheriff said that it is standard procedure to investigate every tip the department gets. The Bensons have been making their maple syrup for five years, but this is the first time their collection setup has caused this type of reaction. But the family says that they’re grateful for their alert neighbors and, “I just want to put their minds at ease, and let them know it's maple syrup. And that they're all welcome for pancakes if they want to come on over." Poster Comment: I don't fault the cops for following up on a meth lab tip. Although, anyone with even rudimentary investigative skills would be able to differentiate betwen a meth lab and a personal sugar shack operation. Especially this time of year in the rural northern Midwest ! Thus the swat team antics were way over the top. The idiot "tipster" should be eliminated from the gene pool before they create any more problems for honest law abiding folks.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken Meth labs smell like cat piss. I noticed that a lot going by trailer courts in the trailer court capitol of the world - Jefferson County, Missouri.

Bullshit. I dare a Union County citizen to call the sheriff and report the presence and exact location of illegal invaders. embedding disabled, but is this what a meth lab looks like to you?

"See something, say something" Welcome to the new America, home of the DHS and land of the snitch. ...someone saw the maple syrup collection tubes and buckets and thought it looked suspicious, so they called authorities.

Now that you've settled into the '04, do you have a SaxeT report for us?

Spoken like a true slave. I bet they thanked the cops when they were done too. But the family says that they’re grateful for their alert neighbors and, “I just want to put their minds at ease, and let them know it's maple syrup.

I WITHDRAW MY CONSENT!
Any perceived compliance with unconstitutional “laws” or orders put forth by government employees is NOT recognition of their authority; it is simply the result of carefully calculated submission to an entity exhibiting superior firepower.

That's the problem with the world, too many folks who don't understand the concept of mind your own business! And don't go calling "tips" in to cops about your neighbors unless you KNOW they have done something they should be prosecuted for (like murdering someone in their front yard and things like that). Apparently someone saw the maple syrup collection tubes and buckets and thought it looked suspicious, so they called authorities.

As of the first of the year I'm a bit southwest of those weirdos. Changed plans. Am going Sunday. Will be looking for a good deal on a .30-06 and maybe a Model 1100 too. Want to get everything on my wish list soon in case I end up moving to CA. Now that you've settled into the '04
do you have a SaxeT report for us?
