oh yeah i forgot the hugest caveat.

pictures from the internet cannot be considered evidence since they have been "manipulated" by the process of uploading, transmitting, and then redownloaded. no way to link that pic back to you. even if it's a pic of your face. photoshop exists and the internet does too. combine them and case closed due to lack of evidence.

lol had to double check since you know laws always changing everyday to the tune of some 25,000 new laws per year...

looks like the law changed. pictures from the internet are admissible but you have to "source" them first...i can't remember the word they used...read the link... but basically they have to verify the trail leading to your internet pics...aka snitches...

Thank you, I've been growing almost none stop for 15+ yrs in the same place and never had to tear down my grow or even had a scare. I was starting to get a little pissed off from being lectured about safety and what should or shouldn't be debated.

In all honesty the fact that I thought about the prints in pics thing for years before making the post. If I really thought it was a huge risk I would of posted sooner. Not saying it can't happen. Old paranoid habits die hard.

I would agree the odds of this being the sole reason for getting busted are very, very slim and by the time they where looking into your account you already had bigger problems.

Hopefully soon none of us will have to worry about bullshit like blotting out faces and such.

Hey RV, it was never my intent to belittle your post and was being honest when I said in my first post that I applauded your concerns about security. I was just wanting to make the point that it was possible to be so caught up with the 'what ifs' and smaller details and forget about the things like landlords, relationships gone sour, falling outs with neighbors, smell problems and the like. Hope neither of us or anyone else has to experience an event like that.

Happy Growing!

I get no air activity then all of a sudden super crazy shit. I go make a purchase of supplies and crazy radar beeps on the detector and see nothing. But don't think i am big or slipping up bad thank God!

I've wondered about this before too with people posting pictures with prints visible, never mind talking about tattoos and scars. I've been on the fence a couple of times about posting certain pictures and just two weeks ago used some shitty pre fab images to cover prints in an Instagram post. I'm from the East coast and I've seen just how shitty things can get. I'm loosening up as more and more states get legal and medical.
