How safe is it to talk about weed via email?

[shadowfox]

How private is email? Do certain words (like marijuana, weed, etc) set off alarms at the fbi station or something?

I'd really like to know cause all these years I've been talking about weed in great detail over email (and I love to talk about it!), and it would suck to have to start using cryptic messages or whatever.

THEY know

[sToNeDpEnGuIn420]

i was thinking about the same thing for txt messages on phones, anyone know about that?

[shadowfox]

I always assumed they only go after huge dealers, or ppl with criminal records, or something. It just doesn't sound plausible that they'd spend all their time and money looking up ppl like me who like to share a few weed stories now and then. But I could be wrong.

Anybody know?

i doubt it, unless they have a warrant. it's a invasion of privacy, but i'm not really sure... the cops will do anything to bust someone for loving the herb

Under the new terrorism laws, I would be worried about sharing too much info anywhere online if you patron this site...

I'm a paranoid son of a bitch though...

unless the pigs are tapping your phones and shit like that (which requires a warrant) they aren't gonna check your emails and bust you for talking about pot with a friend

That's what I figured too, I mean the cops would have to bust a million ppl everyday if they busted everyone who even mentioned weed.

Anyway, it just sucks cause I wanna talk about weed to my friends, but until I have definitive proof that it's safe and can prove to them that it's safe, I can't.

Hey. Cell phones used to be rigged on cetain words back in the 90's, im not sure if that is still legal today. Or where it's legal.

My buddy has programming knowladge from 1st year college, which says alot about whats out thier if you learn this in first year college. How to find out the originating city and your internet service provider, of anyone on any email chains. All the people who passed on the e-mail, pending no-body copy's and pastes it into a new e-mail compostion.

Yeah so pretty much anybody can find out where you live. Or in what city you live in via e-mail. But i don't think people really care to hack random people as much anymore. Viruses are everywhere.

Ohh and legal wise the cops can try and bully the service provider into giving specific information about certain I.P addresses. Which may possibly used legally against you somewhere.
But I believe they need a warrent for that, and I think their is a bunch of legal and political reasoning decideing why thigns are the way they are. Poeple are paying the government in my opinion, to keep certain things form being cracked down on. Like whats up with all this spyware and adware. The government mus be paid off not to deal with these poeple who are invading peoples computers.
Just my suspision

I'll bet cyber laws are quite similar to actual laws. I remember recently a case going for some southern state court that ruled the cops were OK is obtaining a search warrant after they searched somebody
