There nothing but criminals with badges.
Amen brother. And pharmacists are nothing but crack dealers with white jackets. Priorities in this country have gone to SHIT. You know, in my state, I could molest a child, stab someone, shoot someone, etc. and possibly do less jail time than if I got busted growing ONE plant. And to make it even worse, I would get to KEEP my house if I molested a child (as long as it wanst my child), whereas law states that a house with a grow op MUST be seized, leaving the owner to still pay the full amount owed but never own the house again. Just fucking sick.
But yeah, all this nonsense over people worrying about FLIR is silly. In my opinion, only two types of people should worry about FLIR.....people growing with 1000w plus, or Canadians. Unfortunately for Canadians, more money is spent per year trying to bust grow ops than every other drug enforcement combined. They do regular flyovers in large BC neighborhoods, which is why most quality growers use basement homes or anit-flir materials. Check out the documentary "The Union" its fuckin FABULOUS!!
As most here have stated, a closed mouth will make you safer than all the stealth, anti-FLIR, and smell precautions combined. Almost every story I read about an op being busted mentions someone tipping them off. I have never read a story that said the person was detected using FLIR technology and you KNOW they would be bragging about that shit and putting it all over the news to scare other growers. Point is, they have better things to do with their money than spend thousands fueling up, flying over, and trying to find grow ops when idiots are telling their friends and getting themselves busted.
Loose lips sink ships, always have always will.
