They might not "know" but they got mine dead on the money as far as I can tell, I'll post the letter if I get another. Everyone here keeps talking about the companies won't snitch on you because of their making money but its a drop in the bucket compared to their other business. They won't go looking for you but they will comply with any request from LEO and if they were to somehow to find out you're growing they'd call on you in a heartbeat.
So your bill said how much grow light usage your using? I find that very hard to believe, especially when you have a hobby grow like me from memory.
yes sir had a ass living next door
if leo is asking about someones account that person is already busted got nothing to do with all the power they were using,u an greg make it sound like ohno my bill is up to 1000 this month here come the pigs lol NOW HERE ME PIGS DONT LOOK AT POWERBILLS UNLESS U ALLREADY BUSTED
Its already been said they won't come after you for a large electric bill, but if they have just a tip you aren't busted YET, the judge probably won't issue a warrant strictly on a tip. They get the records and use that as additional evidence to get a warrant
I just read you can opt out in California, but you have to pay 75 bucks up front and 10 bucks extra a month.
First post. Where OP did explain it in detail
Different visit. That one was in 2015. Which is probably why he let them in the second time. The more recent visit was last year.
Im assuming in legal states, you are pretty much always liable to have someone drop in, unannounced to make sure you are within compliance. This is an entirely different issue.
It also means that the police already knew he grows. As its a legal grow even the county and state knows he grows. as he has filed the relevant paperwork.
this fucking nube don't listen,it was before his time
yes more to story than power use.trying to tell u
Well, you should ask him I guess. If you want a swag, my take is they (the state of CO) have been trying to find the coop growers. So they have been asking the power companies for lists of residential users with higher than normal power use. He probably popped up in a drag net of homes, and when they looked up his address, they saw he was a licensed med grower and decided to pay a visit.
I can accept that. IT's just not what he said...... I've said I don't have any more info than the posts he made. If that left holes, I humbly stfu.
No it doesnt. He was a registered grower. Normal logic for growing does not apply when LEO already knows you grow...
No it doesn't. It shows that a Police officer said they used the power company. Police are human and humans lie.
But his power bill went down. He went from using HID, to Cobs. You can use less W for the same light as your well aware and it is less heat because your not heating a Gas . But we don't need to go into W for W or heat of each. We all know the drill on that.
Yeh, its easy to bypass the meter and even easier to get busted for it. Now you do have the power company looking for you. That's exactly how the neighbors got busted.
A guy here just burnt his house down last night by doing it. Gives growers a bad name.
yeh, it made me nervous because they only found one guy at home and they parked at the house and cruised the neighborhood for two days waiting on the other two to showup.
