Anyone Been arrested for growing on here

Hi

Just a question to see if anyone has been arrested for growing on here or if anyone has been arrested due to there posts on this site. I know its very risky putting up pictures of grow ops and it would be stupid to put your location but has it happened to anyone?

Thanks

No, afaik. The question comes up from time to time. Just be careful. Don't include identifying information in your posts or pics and you'll be fine.

Additionally, if you upload photos :

"Embedded in the metadata of photos you take with your cell phones and post to popular online website may be found the longitude and latitude coordinates providing the exact location where that photo was taken. Some video cameras and digital cameras are also offering this feature. This is something to consider when you are taking family photos, photos of items you intend to sell or any private information that you do not want disclosed. This should also be viewed as a security concern for people with children or family members who are in need of protection from individuals with ill intentions."

Wow didn't know that great white. Some scary stuff. I guess they can only get that information if you are connected via gps or wifi when the picture is taken?

Many of the smart phones are "always" connected & the data gets embedded into the photo. There are meta-data strippers you can download to remove it.
