Police using electricity records
A friend of mine had told me that police will search
electricity records for evidence of plant-growing
patterns (how they do this in the specific, I do not
know). I was somewhat skeptical. But having read on
this list about hydroponics and law enforcement, I
have become a believer.
Now on CNN.com is an article specifically stating that
the police had used electricity records (along with
warrant-less thermal imaging) as evidence for search
and seizure. Not a comforting thought. Here where I
live (Houston) the police are known to have
"accidentally" shot a few suspects over the years.

On another note: don't ask the local nursery for
"potassium nitrate." Rather, ask for "Green Light
Stump Remover." The lady was upfront about it. She
said, "They use that to make bombs." Without missing
a beat, I added, "and fertilize aquariums."
I never would have thought this hobby dangerous. :)
