Now that many high quality grow lights sport LED bulbs and do not consume nearly as much power or put out a lot of heat, how will the gestapo decide who to raid? I guess they can always knock randomly and claim they hear a noise on the other side of the door...

They can try and work out who purchased multiple top-end graphic cards. Maybe raid Amazon for a customer delivery list or ATI for a warranty registration database.
