Here is a scenario for the real estate agents in the audience:

A 28-year-old man from Henley Beach South in Adelaide was reported for cultivating cannabis after photos of his plants were noticed on a real estate website.

The plants, growing in pots, inadvertently showed up in photos used to advertise the house for sale.

Police attended the house with a search warrant and subsequently seized the cannabis plants and reported the man. via news.com.au

My question is, does the agent have any responsibility to not publish the photos of the clients pot plants or at least warn the client of possible ramifications?

And, as a follow up, what agent would take this listing??? Yikes.
