$800 electric bill + electric meter leads to electric company calling cops

[beanja]

It dont make sense why would utility company rat u out if u pay ur bills? Soon as they snitch u out they lose their revenue. It would have to be outrageous before they tell cops or unpaid bills.

No it's the southern US. For those that don't know, marijuana is really frowned upon in the southern bible belt. There is no leniency down here. One plant is considered One pound of finished product. Some kid was caught with One plant growing in his closet and was arrested and not even allowed a bond! It sucks!

Electronic Power Meter Is a SPY!!!!

Electronic Power Meter Is a SPY!!!!

I was just passing through and saw this thread on power usage, and how much is enough without the consequences involved. 8000 watts 66.664 Amps. This is ENORMOUS POWER !!!! When I mention an Electronic Power Meter, Listen up, they are spies. They know exactly when your power is at FULL POWER. If you flower 12 to 12 they know, and if you use your spa at a certain time every day, they know. I have heard that the meters are being used for investigations involved on the property. This is very serious, even mini cameras have been installed by Honeywell. peace, resinbud

In the south heat is mainly gas. Summer high electricity winter high gas.

I believe that they look for patterns of use.

Terrible situation but I wouldn't say surprising.

some things i took from this article

the guy was an ex state cop using 800 a month bill without a residence

WITHOUT A RESIDENCE

on 5 acres

now if he was a cop, putting aside the fact he is a total fucking hypocrite living on taxes he got paid for busting pot growers, he should be well aware private citizens are not restricted like the authorities

they don't need search warrants to go on your property, notice something and turn you in

he was growing in a container with electrical hum and noticeable smell

i hate to sound like an asshole but it sounds like he pushed his luck a little too hard

sounds like he just wanted easy money

Closer and closer to a police state...

Already there bro, already there...

lol I love how this almost never happens in Cali because the electric companies love raping us at $0.37.

 

[shmalphy]

WTF? Electricity is $0.37 a kwh in Cali? That is fucking nuts! I pay about 15 cents...

I want to call my electric company and pretend I am a reporter and see what their stance is on the subject...

It's hard to feel bad for a cop that gets arrested for growing weed, when he has probably arrested hundreds of people for weed....

Dumdass should have at least moved a shity trailer onto the land. Sounds like he got sloppy and greedy. Low hanging fruit.

Customers in Tier 5 currently pay almost 50 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), compared to 11.9 cents for Tier 1 (baseline) usage. Under PG&E's new proposal, the top rate that customers would pay—in Tier 3—would be 29.8 cents per kWh.

So lemme get this straight. The more you use the more expensive it is? That is my kind of business model. How do I get into the energy business in cali? The carolinas are around 8 cent per kWh.... Isn't alternative energy cost effective at those rates?
