Honestly, how many years of storytelling in bars is this public servant going to get out of that garden hose? Solid ordinance work my man, solid!

>local authorities were first tipped off to the unlicensed facility when a local code enforcement officer noticed that a garden hose was illegally attached to the back of the building. That led city officials to obtain a search warrant to inspect the warehouse, which was supposed to only be used for storage.

Terrible, FUD-heavy, thin reporting begs the question:

Are we talking independent biohackers, low budget quasi-startups, and/or terrorism?

The presumptive demonization and loaded language doesn't do justice to whether there was truly harmful negligence or just low-budget sloppiness. Although I thoroughly dislike animal testing, I doubt it can be completely eliminated.

What kind of business needs a lab like that? Seems really cyberpunk.
