You can %100 be traced from photos. Its just about how badly someone wants to.
Yeh I’m uk and its illegal but find accounts with people showing grows, but I suppose u don’t see what goes on behind the scenes with them getting busted when they if and when they do
I know many who do it who aint been busted but you wouldnt catch me doing that in a million years remove the meta data in your pics helps but if say your arms in frame and they see scars or tats they can potentially use that against you or stuff in the room etc too luckily there is that many folk growing in the uk they tend to focus on the bigger ones helps to never temp fate tho id stay clear of insta personally
Yeh I know photos hold the geo tags and stuff stored in the photos, just wasn’t sure if it translates through Instagram if that makes sense
yeh makes sense
If the police were seriously after someone they would go straight to the local isp that your connected to and figure out where the transmitted data came from. The internet is not just a "void" where things come and go. It has starts and ends. Points and nodes where your packets go through. This can all be unraveled and unspun to find the original sender of the packets. Its just about how badly they want to do this. And most people aren't smart enough to understand how to even slightly protect themselves anything on the internet, let alone THE INTERNET itself being able to find you. Like you realize our internet is pretty much owned by the government?
yeh, I got a bit of understanding about it, always running a vpn but never sure how much it protects u on social media apps and even forums like this one, I have just gone down a bit of rabbit hole but have got a app to delete the meta data off photos but still sure that there would be some trace when logging on to thinks like Instagram and Facebook
If your in England they bother less in Scotland there a bit more dickish idk what there like in wales where im at in Scotland i have seen police that hungry for a bust that they took a bit for a couple of joints off my friend who had stage 3 breast cancer at the time luckily she all good now ironically one polis pushed for it the other one appologised the whole time its no the point there scum worst type of people you will ever meet imo so pays to be careful in england alot of the police have come out and said there not pursuing home growers anymore from what i heard and god help you if your on the isle of man
yeh to pin it down it’s wales where I’m at, some officers are cool as penguin piss and others can be right jobs worths, they say anything under 8 plants is classed as personal so I’ve been sticking to that just incase my door dose come off, I have a nosey neighbour that sits in the bedroom window and watches everything we do, I had a mate come over and the lady next door rung the police, they were waiting down the road for him when he left mine, she’d seen us drinking and smoking in the garden and to make it even worse the husband came round the next day to ask how my mate got on with the police. My grow is right under there nose where it’s situated hence the name “Ann frank”
yeh that pretty much how I kinda see it ur leaving bread crumbs every time u touch ur phone/internet (there’s a thing going round at the moment saying that the ihones are taking photos of ur face every 5 seconds without u knowing) so logging on and using the net u have to be leaving a trace . It’s just a little hobby for me to keep me occupied not really in it for the money just more of learning and perfecting the art of growing some big taste budsListen , I have an IG presence and don’t care about the POPO . They give zero shits about most indoor grows ( state dependent ) unless you are slinging said product. If you are the type that looks sketchy as fuck and is the hoodie guy behind Taco Bell , then you deserve the silver bracelets.
IG is a cesspool and really do not post there anymore. Too many bullshit “ seed droppers “ there. However , legit cannabis businesses and breeders still pop around there. Most of my posts were for photographic purposes anyways.
I never tripped out over being surveilled or being “ tracked “ ….. ( News Flash ) you are already tracked / archived / pinged / data grabbed.
If you try to go beyond normal grow limits - it’s on you. If you sell out of your house - it’s on you.
I once had some much product ( jars ) I would bury a large portion in coolers . Talk about paranoia.
Now since I smoke so much - it kind of gets destroyed by small fires - so no evidence.
So mostly like doing Nug Porn with my phone. Taking pretty bud pics.

See ya around @AnnFrank
Im lucky im 1 of 3 growers in my street cops might be cunts but my area is ok theres a few nosey ones but not too bad in all the years i stayed here i had the cops turn up once for noise complaint once so once pigs are away i went straight to the new folk who just moved in chapped the door and told em straight phone the cops on me again and you will regret it they moved two weeks later lol all the rest of the street is decent they sooner chap your door and say the issue than call the cops on you as it should be
