It's better than the title implies. They also broke the MRI machine because they hit emergency stop buttons instead of stopping for a couple seconds to ask how to safely handle removing the gun.

(I'm not sure the cost difference between a graceful shutdown and an e-stop and can't find information, but if it's 250k worth of fix, I'm betting it's significant.)

And they were there because the energy use of the MRI made them suspect it was a pot farm... in a legal state.

I agree with the legal state part, but it was not the energy use of the MRI; it was BS'd from the following:

"Franco conducted surveillance on multiple dates in 2023, reporting the 'distinct odor of live cannabis plant and not the odor of dried cannabis being smoked,' tinted windows–which he attributed to efforts to conceal cannabis cultivation, security cameras– which he associated with locations where cannabis is grown to prevent theft, and two individuals in similar attire at the premises – whom he concluded were performing maintenance or expanding the cultivation operation," the lawsuit alleges.

Distinct odor of live cannabis

I have no idea what that smells like, but this smells like a bunch of crap
