I have been very careful with my pictures period.

If they live on your phone or computer you are fucked if you get arrested. It may only lead to them looking harder or having probable cause.

I know a couple people that got arrested and the things seized are phones and computers immediately. We are having a hell of a time getting back a $500 phone that is in police evidence from my girl friend's coke arrest a few months ago. There is Nothing on the phone that can lead to anything, but they are keeping it until the trial is over. I get so mad at those fuckers, that phone was only a week or two old. I don't know if I will ever get it back.

We go to trial next month btw. This should be over pretty soon.

You would be, best off not bringing a phone or anything that could be tied to you to a grow.

Worst case, the phone could be remotely turned on without your knowledge.

Plus I've dropped my phone dozens of times and not noticed, for a while. I would hate to do that on a guerilla path.

I have known many idiots over the years that whip out there smart phone to show everyone they meet their plants. I've even been at parties where from another table I could see someone showing off pics of their plants so someone else. Some people just don't give a second thought to that kind of stuff.

I thought I was the only person on earth without a cell phone, well 2 others I guess. I do not have any paranoid thing about them but I do see lots of younger folks endlessly fucking around with them all day.

I waste enough time on my home pc and do not need to be distracted driving or out and about. I have been almost crashed into by jerks on their damn cell phones having vital conversations with some important person.

I take pictures with my droid...I always direct connect it via mini usb. I then immediately remove the pics from my phone. My phone usually never has stored pictures. If Leo wants to track you down he can use a little det. work and your ip address and come right to your door. If you have wifi at your house they can tap into your computer, and see all your saved goodies. Good tips though....makes remember to erase erase erase.....and i also have seen ppl bragging to complete strangers at bars...ppl are just stupid I guess?!?!

You can turn it off by going to location services and disabling it for the camera, but taking pictures and saving them on your phone is not a good idea to begin with.

I am currently going threw something like this. I had lost my phone and had a few pictures on the memory card. The phone was prepaid and under a random name and address, but im sure threw little things within the phone the finder could easily figure out who i am, ill never take pictures with a cell again. even if i plan on deleting them that night... I hope others will hear this and not have to find out the hard way, it sucks knowing someone could have my name, and know what i do... even worse would be if the person took it into the police... but im lucky, they must have put time on it, because there have been text messages being sent from it..

smart phones = stupid idea. i don't get the point of buying a phone that requires internet in order to even use the the phone. shitty battery life, features you'll never need/use, expensive as sin (you can buy a car for the price of some of the damned things)... i just don't get it.
