Okay, I want to start an indoor grow again, but I have been paranoid about it and would like your input. Here are the details:
-I live in a large metropolitan city (population >1 million)
-I live in a higher-than average crime area (no rampant street crime, mostly property crime)
-The police have 1-3 helicopters airborne 24/7/365
-12 months ago, a police helicopter circled over MY house under 200 feet for 2-3 minutes; no spotlight on. This occurred 2 or 3 times in one week. I was growing a 400W operation at the time
-As a result of the helicopter circling, I pulled my grow and haven't grown since
-No more helicopters circled my house since
-Every couple of days for the last 2 weeks, I have seen the police helicopter slowly flying over my house at normal altitude (500 feet, perhaps?). This is more frequent than any other time in the last 12 months. It's now happened at 5 PM, 7 AM, 9 PM; the times have varied
-I want to grow again in my cabinet with a 400W light, just like last year
-I keep regular hours, am employed, know my neighbors, my yard is well-kept, I know my neighbors (I hope that is a good thing- heh)
-I DO have a DUI and simple marijuana possession charge from over 10 years ago, and a couple of traffic tickets from 5 years ago. No other criminal record.
-I can't move right now
I want to grow again, but am scared of being on the police's radar and getting busted. The indoor growing season is coming up and I am sure police are not so stupid as to not know that. And if they did suspect me of growing last year, and realized I pulled my grow, why wouldn't they wait until the next season and do some more flyovers to "check up" on me?
I am trying to be rational about this and not overly reckless or paranoid.
What are your thoughts?
