"well maybe for one thing not posting that u got a grow op on internet cause if cops r on here they can trace ur ip to ur house or sumthin"
Someone mentioned the above quote in a thread about growing under the legal section of the forums....
Has anyone posting on these boards been investigated and or IP traced or busted due to anything cops read on these boards?
I know of cops that read people's myspace pages looking for hints of cannabis use or other illegal activities... they use it as probable cause to conduct a search.....
Someone else suggested a proxy server, but apparently the free ones do not last long.
I am a bit worried now

I've never heard about the myspace thing... If it set it to private can they still find ways of looking at my stuff? And does that mean they read my messages too?

I really wouldnt worry about it. We could all be lying out of our asses for all they know. And if they bust up in my house and don't find anything then im gona fucking sue their asses.
The only thing id worry is if I posted pics of a huge grow op saying that YEAH! Its at my house!! Tehe!
Then id be worried.

Put a little thing at the bottom of your signature saying like "all posts under this user name are purely for role playing purposes" Im not sure if this works through some weird fucked up legal loophole im not sure, but its worth a try.

Millions of people use the internet with illegal attachments everyday, I just hope I'm not one of them that gets looked into.
I heard it was 1 in every 100,000 people get busted for downloading copyrighted material, but I suspect it's at an even higher rate, like 1 in every 250,000+.

just use a proxy. one of the easiest i have found is schoolboredom.com. It has been around for a while and probably is not going anywhere.

I never have anything at home anyway, and they can't arrest based on that...I'm sure my lawyer would love for them to bust into my house based on something I said online in a forum...he would have the judge laughing his ass off at them for trying.

This is a good discussion and I think it deserves a bump.
I don't have anything to worry about personally but I would use discretion in posting pictures of grows on here. It just seems risky to me. For that reason I won't do it. That is just my opinion and it doesn't relate to others. Other people feel comfortable posting pics of their plants up and etc. I don't think I would be comfortable doing it.
The cardinal rule to not getting yourself into trouble for anything Is not to do anything illegal.
However, if you must bend the rules (in this case: grow) then don't tell anyone about it and don't broadcast your actions or intentions on the internet. I think those things would keep one from getting caught.

lol, I highly doubt you're going to get the government taking down ip/isp logs of ip access to this website...we're just pot smokers, there's at least 10-15 million pot smokers in america..
if they want to locate you, they can do that easily...the government has backdoors all over the internet, as do credit card fraud operations...There's no way to hide yourself on the internet, at least from big brother...That is, unless you're a really good hacker but it's still a very difficult thing to do..

If the police subpeona the ISP then you're probably cooked but that would only come with alot more than picture from a website, they'ed have to have other evidence to go with it. For all of my internet activities I use peerguardian2 for surfing, not only does it block all known goverment ip but also it blocks third party companies that are paid to find copyright violators, its completly free from methlabs software.

Another point that I wanted to make is that investigators probably don't come on message boards for leads to bust growers.
However, if you are served a search warrant and your house is searched, the cops may seize your computer and search your hard drive. They could use want they find on your computer to further their case in busting you for growing.
I don't have any first hand knowledge of this but it sounds possible.

Just stick to a proxy and you should be just fine. Like previously posted, the man can pretty much see whatever he wants to if he tries hard enough, but there are little things you can do here and there like proxies that make it tougher, and even more things that you can do if you are smart enough.

I was actualy worried a bit about this idea of ip tracking when I first decided to post but you have to look at the scale of it... the internet is world wide. I'm a guy somewhere in Canada with one plant. It is not worth it for the police to scouer the web and these forums trying to find someone to bust based on a post.
My initial concern wasn't with the cops though, it was with 'bud stealers'.
El Fantistico :smokin:

Alright people take off your tin foil hats and look at the real facts. An IP will only lead you to the users ISP. So in order for the person using the IP to be fingered they must present a warrent to the ISP and only then will the ISP cough up the information on there valuable customers.

My IP is dynamic...that would be a blast, tracking my IP from everytime I've signed on in the past month...it's gotta be about 20 pages...even if that makes no sense, I'm with the school of thought that el fantistico is on. The police really aren't going to do that. Even if they did, I think they would be overwhelmed by all the people they'de have to arrest. This isn't the only forum like this and all of them have pictures and information about grows and growers. I really don't think they would spend that much money for weed.
