As a new member here, I've created this thread for one reason: To offer specific knowledge to the community, via member experience, that can help them from being busted.
To put it simply, I wanted to create a single thread where people who have been busted can provide us with details (the more the better) of HOW they were busted. For example, many of these details may not actually become transparent until court proceedings, so I'd encourage anyone who is able to share their stories.
I know many people are busted by knock & talks, and another decent amount due to speaking to others about their grow. However, there are many busts that happen for other reasons such as a fire, FLIR detection, an emergency where 911 was dispatched to the grow location, etc..
Furthermore, things like faulty ventilation and/or smell control malfunction, DEA or police pretending to be public service or utility workers, the setup of field cameras by authorities (and the list goes on and on) and more. It DOES HAPPEN.
The idea is to acquire as much information as possible, from people with firsthand experience who can tell us exactly how & why they were busted. This information can be very valuable to us all, and hopefully open our eyes to the seemingly endless possibilities that exist when it comes to being busted. This is especially important for those of us who keep tight lips, have extremely covert operations that seem foolproof, and have still gotten busted.
Please, if you have legitimate & detailed info about a friend or someone you know who was busted, please feel free to contribute the circumstances involving their bust(s) as well.
I hope that this thread is a good addition to the Security & Legal Issues area of the forum, and I hope it's able to offer an abundance of information that continues to grow.
