People seem to talk extremely freely on this site. Are we safe talking this way? What assures us our safety?

Be assured that the DEA, RCMP and various other agencies, have the time and money to hire some very intelligent people with almost infinite resources when it comes to hacking and Internet sleuthing in general. If they want your IP, with few exceptions, they will get it.

I will say that you are 99% safe, even if they find out your ip and track you.

Hacking is illegal. Courts will not tolerate police doing illegal things to gain evidence to be used in a trial proper. The reason that you see cases thrown out of court for search violations is often due to defense lawyers attacking and quashing a warrant.

Now here's what the cops can do. Once they have gathered enough legitimate evidence that you are growing (in the real world) (Smell, hydro bills, pictures of you carrying christmas tree sized plants out your door) then they will come in and, with a warrant, seize your computer and use whatever they find on it in your prosecution. But then so what? By that point your fun is over anyway.

Police do illegal things all the time, my point is that it will not get them very far. You will have to have screwed up in the real world first.

O.K. thanks. I do often screw things up though...

More specifically...

Someone posts a really phat grow setup, with 100's of plants, would that be enough to get a warrant to hack the IP?

I doubt they would bother with a guy growing 2 plants in his closet, but I've seen some pretty wicked grows on this site and I can see some fed getting a boner by just looking at the posts.

Thats true. But some of them I'm sure have been on other sites with the same grow set up and have been around for awhile. right?
Have you ever heard of anyone getting busted on one of these sites?

They would have a tough time convcting anyone on here. In Canada we have a privacy law, the Police would be breaching that. If you are telling everyone and showing off, maybe then you may get caught. But really it is not worht the time and money to track personal growers.

The police in my country are all-but told to ignore the small time growers. it's not cost effective to prosecute. In my country they concentrate mainly on the vietnamese gangs that set up grows costing £10,000-£20,000. where each harvest nets them £250,000. That's sterling folks.

Skunk I love that last thing you said. I think I have a new phrase "That's sterling folks."

By the way what does it mean? LOL Might be good if I knew that. LOL

it's because you guys think in dollars. The pound is worth almost double so i add it for emphasis, as in Pound Sterling. that is our currency.

Thank you.
