On a flip side of that coin
I would imagine that setting up your own game cameras at strategic locations could keep a guerrilla abreast to who's snooping around.
We had a special "narcotics" department up here that was trying to catch growers, they turned that around on us with hidden "pin cameras". Go to check on your plants and they would catch you on camera, guys had to go full guerrilla with fucking ninja outfits on. Helicopters and light airplanes looking for us too, crazy stupid for the little busts they ever got. I think they must have spent a million bucks a pound, but every plant was a "KILO" worth a hundred grand, even if they found some molded up crap that someone gave up on or some leaves someone ditched. LOL Around here the jails would have been empty if not for dumb ass kids narking each other out, it was like a local pass time for a while, still is that way, mostly dumb bored kids who like drama nark each other out for kicks.
Fucked up though, some idiots up here broke into a guys house and held him at gunpoint the other day. Suspects were a 32 yr old man from downstate, 18 yr girl from up here and some minors, with guns, bats and knives, the rocket scientists knew the guy they robbed.
First time we have ever had that happen up here. Nothing better to do in the middle of this virus than do dumb shit??
Reminds us that it's still a dangerous game that we are playing, even when it's legal. Although I'm guessing the guy who got robbed wasn't strictly legal because they must have thought he wouldn't call the cops for some reason, he did though, so they picked them all up.
Freaked my friends out when I first put up security cameras but they got used to em, that crap is why I put them up, sucks though. No way to hide something the size of my outdoor grow last year and it wasn't on the property by my house so I was miles away from it. Not that you could see the plants, they were well fenced in, it was just where it was it was was kind of obviously a "what else could it be", kind of thing and if you got within a half mile you could smell it. So I put up cameras with live feeds through the internet to a hard-drive, had alarms all that jazz, you guys have probably used them. Plus that way I didn't mind if my buddies did stop over to help out and brought around someone I didn't know too well (usually their girl friend). It's an amazing amount of work to grow really Really REALLY big outdoors, I could use all the help I could get for a while. My how things have changed, not all for the better but a lot of it has.
