Electricity, Marijuana and the Law

'But what about electrical consumption patterns? Do homeowners have a reasonable expectation of privacy over their electricity consumption? Must police obtain a search warrant before they may obtain or access records concerning electrical consumption patterns?

People in the indoor marijuana cultivation business certainly don’t want police anywhere near their electricity consumption records.

You see, certain patterns of excessive consumption are indicative of a grow op. Also, abnormally low consumption doesn’t necessarily mean one is trying to conserve energy. It may mean that someone has bypassed the hydro meter and is stealing electricity.'

  1. The issue really arises with alternative energy sources such as solar, etc. I raise money for humanitarian projects, large projects $500M and higher, and one of the projects would literally be able to make every single residence and business completely independent of the power companies.

    Other issues arise from this such as big business wanting to crush us, but, this is the way to go as there are no needs for electrical lines run to every business or residence, zero emissions, and almost free energy!

    We need to get every single person out of office now and get in fresh people. I realize that there are some good people there, but at a minimum, we need to impose term limits so that we can keep fresh ideas coming into play and not stagnate on the same old crap like windmills, bio fuels, and nuclear. All of these technologies are very old and antiquated.

    Generating your own power keeps prying eyes off of you as well, smart technologies in all electrical appliances can be used to report your energy consumption back to Big Brother, seriously, I will let them know how many times I take a crap a day and I will be happy to send a sample to them every time as well.
