This happened to me last year.
I ditched my plants and they never came knocking i felt like a right cu#t lol..
Turned out they were watching some trouble makers down the street.
If you live near a bad neighbourhood a motorway or large busy roads could be any one of them things.
But do what you feels best man,follow yer gut feelings,plants can always be replaced,your time cant..be safe and stay well man!!

The only advice I've got for you is to seal your room, and put up foil or a foil material on the ceiling and walls. Make sure it has no cracks. Buena suerte. -granger

not long split with an ex gf...hope she would never say out but a woman scorned and all that...lol

was talking to a cop buddy of mine who worked in the narcotics undercover unit. he said that 90% of busts that happened around the north east were due to informants, jealous family members or ex's.

loose lips sink ships, really have to choose wisely who you divulge this sort of information with.

99% of what cops accomplish in any arena is due to informants, they have almost nothing without them. Simply put, don't tell anyone what you're doing if you can help it.

Kyllo v. United States, 533 U.S. 27 (2001), held that the use of a thermal imaging device from a public vantage point to monitor the radiation of heat from a person's home was a "search" within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, and thus required a warrant. Because the police in this case did not have a warrant, the Court reversed Kyllo's conviction for growing marijuana.

Here is a Narc statement taken from an ABC news report on thermal imaging use regarding busting grows.

"But he says the police in his department and others he's trained around the country have been instructed not to use the devices without having first obtained probable cause through other means. So he says the ruling should not greatly affect current police use of infrared cameras on homes."

"Whenever we're doing an indoor grow operation investigation we've already established the necessary probable cause prior to doing the thermal imaging,"

So, the narcs have to have probable cause before they can do anything using thermal imaging. You are already screwed if they are looking at your grow with thermal imaging if they intend to bust you. Thermal imaging is just icing on the cake.
