what... huh?

So, I have this business, and in the outstairs, I am all business... Meaning, I don't look like my friends typically.
So I am on site, and a lawyer (client) and a cop are BSing about weed smokers, and John Q says "what about him?" Nodding toward me. Without blinking, I say "What... Drugs? Uh... YEAH... Why... You want to buy some?" Because I'm a fucking comedian. Everyone laughs, because as it turns out I'm a funny comedian. Next thing you know, I am chatting away with John Q Law while I am waiting for some scans to finish, and we are now talking about drugs and technology.
I am in my element here, and because of the site and company I keep, cop puts me in "friend" slot... So I start fishing for information on what level of tech they have out here with regards to FIR etc. And he says the guard has some toys, but they are more legal probs than they are worth. He says "we are much more primative around here" and asks me if I heard about a grow op that got busted a while back. I of course had, and of course said no, and he runs down the details.
So after taking too long to tell the story, he gets to the part where they suspected, but they had shit. "So I called so and so, who is a game warden..." And gets this shit eating grin. I look lost, and he says "they don't need warrants"
What the fucking fuck?!?
Stupid me, I think this is the dumbest cop on the planet, and after a little protest, let him continue. Says the game warden goes to the door, and says, I am from such and such, and it is my understanding you boys went fishing at (the place to fish), and you took more than your limit. They said no, he explained his right to check, proceeded inside, under protest, and looked in their fridge (drugs everywhere). He then let himself into the aluminum dungeon, looked around, thanked the boys, appologized and left.
Within an hour, an anonymous tip with details of the grow, got a warrant, and bam. "Us 1, bad guys 0" and laughs real loud.
I am horrified. I say "wow". That stood up in court? "All the way. Totally legal". Ok so now I'm nervous, because this is obviously BS, and this feels like I am being fucked with, presumably because he wants to rattle me. So I go on a line about how awesome that is, and how if more cops were as creative with existing laws, what a great place it might be for our kids, because I am an ass kissing shill in the outstairs.
I get home and start checking, and yes. So long as you have a GW willing to invent probable cause... Totally binding.
Their power varies greatly from state to state... But be aware.
I am just in shock.
