It certainly would. If you used them to charge batteries during the day and then used an inverter to return the power at night, you could at least take a large footprint of the load off the smart meter. You would have to rewire your box so you can run either from solar or wall, but there are commercial transfer switches made for that.
I work with off grid systems.
boy the bs is flowing today haha
Which part, the civil forfeiture or issuing warrants?
In regard to forfeiture of the innocent then It certainly does happen.
Last year a couple of towns over, this dumbass was growing a couple plants in his backyard. The yard had a wooden fence but the plants had grown taller than fence and a deputy sheriff happened to spot them. They busted him and were bragging about hooking up his '68 Corvette and towing it to impound to be sold at auction. All over a couple of plants
I saw a doco on a dispensary owner who was shut down and charged but was found not guilty or had the charges dropped and two years on had spent tens of thousands of dollars on legal fees and still didn't have any of his personal property back.
Massachusetts just proposed a new reg that makes it illegal to have aftermarket hidden compartments in a vehicle. It doesn't matter if there are drugs in them, the law claims that just the existence of a hidden compartment is prima facia evidence that the vehicle is used to traffic drugs.
I forgot to mention the funny part, 60 minutes sent out a bait car with a camera and got stopped almost right away. The sheriff said he stopped them for crossing the centerline and they showed him the video! LOL Never seen a redneck cop squirm like that before!
Seriously, its like people dont understand that there are tons of legit reasons for using a bunch of electricity (computer servers being an obvious one, not to mention they put out a ton of heat too)...
The smart meter can tell the difference, anyway, if they get a warrant they're not gonna ask you why you're electricity bill is so high, they're gonna come in.
Yeah, obviously if you have a smart meter, old logic no longer applies.
No, but if someone snitches or they come to your house and "smell marijuana" thats probable cause. If they're really corrupt ( and how many aren't?) and have a hard on for you or suspected growers, they can say they had an anonymous tip.
Oh I agree, but as far as the topic of this thread is concerned, it's a nonissue because you definitely screwed up somewhere else much higher on the list of "do not do's" to get caught.
Or the cops could come to your house on an unrelated matter, and smell you smoking, like happened to a friend a few years ago. Or a neighbor could just lie.
