I love it!!! A doughnut-eating cop in our very midst!

Wonder if he has the munchies???? He doesn't look like he's wanting to bust anyone.

Dang, I want a doughnut in the worst way. . . .

[dryst]

oh sry about the whole name callin thing then :P

wonder what gave the cop the munchies to get a donut in the first place...*cough*

Yes, they are on this site. Maybe not the department in your city or state, but some LEOs are out there.

Computer technology, unfortunately, leaves an electronic footprint that is (usually) admissible in court. Police CAN, with the proper paperwork, collect very traceable IP addresses from sites like these and use them in their investigations. It is done ALL THE TIME to bust child pornographers, and while I support that application, there is always the chance they could use it to bust growers through sites like these if things got slow enough. This worried a lot of people after the shutdown of Overgrow...

Good news is, police in the U.S. have better and more "sure" things to deal with than going after people who post on sites like these. In their eyes, we're small fishes. If you were a rich drug kingpin, would you post about your life on this site? I think not.

Anyhow, if you're paranoid like me, just stick a well-worded and clear disclaimer in your signature. It's hard to grant a search warrant with a legal cock-block like that at the bottom of an incriminating post.

I personally don't think that a disclaimer would do anything if they wanted to bust you.

It's kind of like having a meth lab in your basement, but having a big sign on the door that says, "This room is for entertainment purposes only, and as such, nothing in this room should be considered admissable in a court of law."

Well, there has been police activity here before, thats how i found out about this site, it was in a local news paper.

Weather they are on these days we dont know, and unless they tell us we wont know.

You'd think they'd have better things to do, like real policing.

[luvbud]

exactly!! most pot smokers are not criminals or even dangerous why don't they go after real criminals like rapists and murderers? leave us alone

[the image reaper]

legally, disclaimers mean NOTHING ! ... if you're that paranoid, buy an "Anonymizer" program that falsifies your IP address ... about $25 a year ... personally, I think marijuana users should publicly DEMAND legalization, march in the streets to demand your personal civil rights, and be prepared to sit out the consequences, ... instead of sitting in a dark room with the shades pulled, toking up, and fearing the Law ... :smokin:

police have better things to do than monitor phone calls and the internet for people talking about smoking weed. i hate when i talk on the phone about smoking weed and people are like "DUDE WTF COPS CAN HEARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!" yeah maybe they can, but they most likely aren't.

[orangeman]

I really dont care if they are or not.
