Bypassing power meter?

[lighting]

just go outside an look at the little tag on your meter have a read its a felony offence tampering beleive it or not even tho its on side of your house its still someone elses property
stealing power is great idea if you want to get caught 99 percent of the big operations i mean big time grow ops producing 100 kg a week payed to have a false identity at a grow op ware house or house so sure some of them steel power but let me remind you They do get busted
on a power grid it can be located quickly all it takes is a neibiour saying there having issues with flickering of there lights and pow power company is out there they can pin point where the draw is coming from no different then a mechanic can pin point where a electrical short is in your car jesus christ you want to stay off the grid PAY YOUR BILLS keep it to under 6k lighting and your ok

lol @ the industry and the movement.... you mean how the feds are the muscle for big pharma and laws are actually going backwards in some states...i don't judge ...i don't care what this guy does...not sure why so many of you care what the OP does either.

it gives fuel to the fire of prohibition.
"look at these criminals."

 

[Corso312]

i don't care what other people think...i live life on my terms ....the people saying "look at the criminals" are the same people who think marijuana = crack ....and oxy is all good , because a doctor prescribes that....probably the same people who think gays should not be allowed to be married and saddam hussein was involved with 9/11

 

[scroglodyte]

i also account for only my own actions, but i think many who are on the fence or cannabis legalization, get pushed to wrong side by actions such as these. i don't lose sleep about it, but if someone asks.......i'm happy to opine.

The government would lose too much money, and a lot of people will lose jobs if marijuana was to become legal. It's all a play that the sheeple follow.

Lets weigh out the pros if you don't do it and cons if you actually do it

Pros: able to sit back and watch the sun set every day with a joint
Grow (and sell if its what you do) with less suspicion
get to keep your ass virginity

Cons:
Years in federal prison
butt sex!!! Yay

When bypassing the meter be sure you wear a pair off steel toed steel shank boots. Wet cement or a mud puddle will get you a bigger buzz.

 

[jessy koons]

whats needed to be done to bypass the power meter? who sells bypass power boxs?

The simplest answer is don't do it. The potential problems far outweigh the potential benefits.

We care because he asked a question. He may not have gotten the answers he wanted but the people have spoken.

 

[Nukebisket]

We care because he asked a question.

Why the hell would you care just because a question was asked?

Id just invest in some solar to help offset the monthly bill some. note, I did not say off set the cost. them panels sure arent cheap, and would be a whole bunch of 50-70$ more a month bills. I am looking into building my own panels, basically just gotta locate a decent source for the photo cells themselves, and wire them together, creating a larger more powerful unit. Granted, thats a bit simplified.

You will NEVER recoup the cost of the photo cells or even come anywhere close. You're talking 3-400 hundred dollars to get 15 watts (peak, closer to 0 watts most of the day, nothing at night) while a power company kilowatt is only $0.15, at most. 5 acres of solar cells at a couple million dollars is going to attract national attention. Solar cells are only used as a last resort when nothing else is available, or when the user isn't paying for the cells (government subsidies). A gas powered generator would be much more feasible, if your goal is to not have large power bills to avoid unwanted attention. But then a $0.00 power bill might attract attention also, so you would want ONLY the grow operation on the generator. Silencing the generator can be done if the neighbors are close.

6 cents kwh for me hooray cheap electricity . I too think the MMj scene is a sham.

 

[Epicfork]

The box will cost a years worth of power...

you are a thief to if you grow and sell marijuana without reporting it and paying taxes on it.

Not paying taxes is not theft. It may be immoral or illegal, but it's not theft. Theft is a taking of some one else's property.

 

[Red1966]

i'm not doing anything. just pointing it out. the only thing worse than a thief is a snitch. but i wouldn't consider stealing from the power company as morally wrong or as a thief. i would advise agaisnt it (as i already did on the first page) only because it highly increases your chances of getting your grow busted.

Stealing is not theft, but not paying taxes is? I hope you're not living in my neighborhood.

 

[Red1966]

Its fairly easy to do i dont do it but everyone i know does.The only way u get caught is if u do it the old fashioned way of goin thru the meter versuse tapping thru the main power source coming out the ground.They been tapping powewr for years.Power companies have no idea of who does it.

Most areas have meters every block or so. 10,000 kilowatts a month go thru that meter to your block, tho whole block is only paying for 7,500. 2,500 kilowatts is unaccounted for. They go out and measure the draw at every house. They don't have to be on your property to do this. Your meter shows 500 kilowatts being consumed, but there is 2,500 kilowatts going thru the power line. Legal proof you're stealing power. Enough to get a search warrant. Power company and LEA show up at your door with said warrant, search your house. You share a cell with Bubba. Wish you just paid the damn bill? "goin thru the meter" avoids paying bill in what way?

 

[Corso312]

lol...there is so much bullshit in this thread you need hip waders to read this shit

 

[Red1966]

the easiest way is to go find a foreclosed home that is vacant or boarded up..take their meter ...now if you look at your bill you will see when they read the meter ..usually a 3-4 day window like clockwork...you use real meter for 2 weeks and dummy meter for 2 weeks and cut bill in half....i am not going to talk shit like the rest of these douchebags ...the energy companies are some of the dirtiest scumbags in the world and rape us..fuck em..good luck...i don't pull enough lights to warrant me stealing service but if i did that is how i would do it...good luck

Might work if you don't have smart meters. Smart meters transmit data thru the powerline itself. Including meter ID number. Meter registered to another address transmitting from yours will bring investigators to your door. Can't count on regular meter readings anyway, smart meter or not. Meters have ID numbers and are registered to a particular address. They only have to be early or late once to catch you.
