Im worried about posting stuff pics ect.
Even ordering seeds w/ credit card .
If any off that was ever used as a reason to bust me wouldn't that be illegal?
Does that patriot act have any real relevance?
I mean im sure it does but does anyone know specifically ?

Posting: Set up an extra browser ONLY to be used for 'your hobby' that runs through a proxy server and set all of your security settings as high as you can get them and have it still function. Use ONLY that browser for your hobby. I use FireFox and run through TOR. Some say there are better proxy servers. But, I like the way this one sets up with FireFox.

E-Mail: The ONLY way to go is Hushmail - Free Email with Privacy

Pictures: Use PhotoShop and edit the photo's information before posting it. At the very least it will show camera make & model, f-stop, flash and so on... But, sometimes it will have the camera's serial number in it.

Credit Cards: Purchase a reusable credit card from Wal Mart or K-Mart WITH CASH! That'll take care of the credit card problem. I've not done this yet and have heard that some sites have problems with the 'gift' card version of those credit cards... You could always go the way of an international money order (they're pink) from a bank or post office.

Can that lead to arrest: Buying seeds can because it's an illegal substance... But, I've never heard anyone getting in trouble for it... The worst I've heard happening is that Customs will send you a letter saying that the items have been confiscated and if you would like to dispute that to call a number... Don't call the number and remember, you have no control over what is sent to you in the mail... Very well could have been a pissed off ex-boyfriend/girlfriend. Post a thread in General Growing or Seed Strain Review asking what the best place to order from is.. 90% will say Attitude. But, check for your self as it changes from time to time when and if the law catches on to their stealth shipping methods. Asking the group is also a great way to avoid bogus sites that will do nothing but take your money knowing that you won't call the police.

Patriot Act: I've heard rumblings about how it's now being used against gangs... I wouldn't be shocked in the least bit to find out that they are trying to use that against us. Cops love using new ways to catch their prey.

Paranoid: Don't get over paranoid, it will cause you to second guess your self straight in to a bad situation! Think logically about what can go wrong and how it can go wrong, with any aspect of what you are doing. If you can't come to a conclusion, ask it here on R.U.I. You would be very hard pressed to find your self in a situation that's unfamiliar to this group. They offer great advice! I'm sure you've heard "the only dumb question is the question that's never asked"... That couldn't be more true about your hobby and this site!

Other: Don't give out your personal information to anyone... Seed-Banks have to know where to send your stuff. But, they don't have to know who they are sending it to. Other than that, I'd keep 'you' private. DON'T TELL ANYONE what you are up to! Telling people is the biggest way you'll get busted!

Extras: Watch these three videos about why you should NEVER TALK TO THE COPS. Video 1 is a criminal law professor. Video 2 is a cop. Both are stating why you should never talk to the cops. Video 3 is from the former head of the ACLU and talks about how to deal with the cops should you be confronted in various situations.

Warning: Again, just to make sure... DON'T TELL ANYONE! :)

Closing: Don't let me and what I've said freak you out. Doing what you are planning on doing, if done correctly is less risky and safer than buying your stuff from a dealer. You will be the ONLY person that knows, the product will always be pure, you won't get in to a shoot-out with your self over a deal gone bad.

Request from other readers:
Some of what I have said falls under the category of "what works best for me" and others would disagree with a few things like the browser selection or may have a set of videos they like better... If you are reading this and have other suggestions or comments as to what's been said... By all means, please post them! This is constantly a learning experience for everyone involved and if there's a better way to do something than what I've stated... I'd like to know too!
