"We thought it was a major grow operation ... but this guy had some kind of business involving computers," Marotta said. "I don't know how many computer servers we found in his home."
But how would they start a fishing expedition without a subpoena in this case? The electric company seems to imply it requires one. Granted, I suspect the electric company is telling a half-truth; I suspect they hand over everything on a whim. But if the electric company truly is requiring subpoena's, that's a huge positive for growers, as cops can't just go fishing.Doesn't sound like it to me:
So who was the tip from if the guy is just a web developer? No one. The cops do go fishing for high usage and then try to build a case around it. When they run out of tips you better believe they'll try to manufacture a case to continue justifying their funding.
I'm in my room for at least an hour everyday with the lights on, if there was any truth to the tanning thing I would practically be black by now.

.This article provided me with some relief.
There is evidence suggesting this is true and false, depending on the company.A false sense of relief. Dont fool yourself. Your power co. will report you to the pigs if you are using too much 'trcity. Its not the pigs fishing its your power co. snitching.
That the electric company spokesman even gives enough of a shit to address the "required" nature of subpoena's is something I see as a positive.
