I have a thread on that site folks speak bad of. It is in the Security forums and is called Diary of a Hydro Raid. It lays it all out till I got banned. Feels free to scope it. Hope this doesn't cause some sort of uproar. Peace GS
Banned from IC, the thread is actually on both sites. I wanted people to know what you have to go through and all the steps that must be taken to get back to work. No one ever talks about that shit and it is a reality for many. Thanks for your kind words. Peace GS
I have a feeling power consumption alone isn't enough evidence to enter a property. Can anyone else confirm?
It's also a record of the usage schedule. 12 hours a night, turning on and off at the exact same times, day in and day out. Is all that a reason for a warrant? No. But it gives them more reason to investigate further to see if a warrant is justified. Just as an unkept yard, with steamy, mildewy windows that the curtains never open, and seems nobody ever lives there.. doesn't mean it's a grow house.
(PLEASE, if you don't know for sure, don't speculate! I've read enough 'typical' answers with no bearing or legitimacy to them. If you live in another country, DON'T answer as it may be very different than where you're from.)
- What are the risks in running a high-wattage setup (5000-8000 watts)?
- Do hydro companies tell law enforcement of ALL instances of over power use? Or just ones they find super suspicious? Or do they wait until law enforcement comes to them and then give the information up?
- Do cops need reasonable grounds to ask your power company for information?
- Will a hydro company give your utility information to law enforcement if you are simply using more power than your neighbours? If so, can police obtain a warrant simply from this information?
- How else can police obtain a warrant?
- Do 'smart' meters raise more of a concern than standard meters? I know smart meters tell the hydro company when you are using it, but can it tell where in the house you are using it? Would switching the power source from room to room every once in awhile help?
- Do you PERSONALLY know of anyone getting busted simply from power consumption?
- Do any of you have similar size setups? If so, how do you ensure you are not caught through power consumption related reasons?
- Is it true that if you don't steal power/tamper with the meters, the company won't care?
- Do you guys have any other tips (other than switching to fluros, turning off AC, turning off electronic equipment when not in use, etc.) for saving power?
Any other information regarding power usage would be greatly appreciated! THANK YOU.
