Help! CA sheriffs and dogs at grow

Hello. I'm hoping someone can give me some sort of advice as I am in a tricky situation. I've been a part of a grow in California, about 350 plants just beginning to flower, 150 in veg and 15 mothers. The grow is in a very secluded indoor warehouse, nowhere near schools or houses. It is only for medicinal purposes, never sold on the streets. Two weeks ago I saw two sheriffs officers outside on our private property. After returning inside I heard a dog barking (assuming it was a narcotics K9). After waiting about 20 minutes I left and they had left the property as well. I was expecting a raid but now two weeks have passed and nothing has happened yet. In the meantime we collected 150 patient recommendations and agreements from a local collective and have placed them on the property. The property itself is owned by a LLC with one shareholder who's name is not on public record. The car parked outside of the building at the time is registered to another LLC also no name connected. The thing is, the insurance on the vehicle and the electricity bill on the building are paid by someone who is on "bench probation" for a previous marijuana charge. I'm worried that with this info and the sheriffs on the property with a dog they will have enough for a search warrant. I'm surprised they haven't entered already. I have no criminal record and just want to grow medicine without worrying about facing jail time. Does anyone have any advice for me as to how to make sure everything is compliant with California law? What are the chances that there will be a raid in the near future? I feel like the odds are against us in this situation but I believe in this and love growing so to shut down and dump it all feels terrible. On the other hand, I'm not willing to have a felony on my record or face jail time! I've done a lot of research into California law and previous cases but I'm still unsure of how protected we are with the collective, and I realize we aren't protected federally. I don't trust the collective or their patients to testify in court to say that the plants are their property. Seeing as I'm the one who's there 99% of the time I feel like it would all fall on me. Anyone with any friendly advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm scared to death right now!

I had beat the Sheriff Department after being ratted on, I was raided w a quickness. They came w AR-15's and I was like "You guy's got me." When getting to the station I was like man possession and possession for sales is the same thing. They said my charge was Manufacturing and starts at 8 years. I said I wanted to make a statement, so they laughed and gave me the police report to do so. Now keep in mind when busting me, they took from me my phone, cash from my pocket, 6 grams of oil, 50 vials, $200 of lab glass, 45 oz of weed, not trim, and 2 scales. I told them I broke no laws, and they responded SHUT UP. My statement read, That if I did anytime over the charges presented, that it would be very discouraging since a Federal announcement has been made that supersedes your jurisdiction. NSF PD-14-1443. I remember hearing the chains and was like WTF I didn't even see a judge... but my name was called for release line and had the D.A Reject the case since the intellectual property that I owned has merit and a bigger impact on a broader spectrum. It wasn't my last encounter w these guys, but I haven't been harassed in quite some time and when I encounter them simply use their watch commanders name who has become well aware of my existence and my talents and am not viewed as the same type of victim they can just fuck w anymore. I have stood my ground and and spoken to some of these guys fearlessly and have not since been fucked w.

if they're snooping around now at the baby plant stage.. they will definitley be back at the big plant stage.. they're probably setting up surveillance with the plan to bust you at the best moment.. ie when the plants are mature

Wowza! 500 plants and 150 recs?

I'm in L.A. that has the most MMJ shops and probably the most indoor grows in the entire world and the City will allow collectives of only 3 or fewer and all must reside at the grow residence. Soooo this means 18 plants max per here in L.A.
