They have little to do with 'organized crime'. The idea that Swat Teams are necessary to check up on a grow op is absurd and a ridiculous waste of police resources. They generally tear down and scurry away as soon as they are served an inspection notice. It proved quite effective in Surrey, BC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-1147718795424226922006-05-15T11:46:00.000-07:002006-05-15T11:46:00.000-07:00Of course the growers will just bypass the meter H...Of course the growers will just bypass the meter <BR/><BR/>How many fires will they be responding to once idiot joe grower tries to tap into his power lines?<BR/><BR/>How will firemen feel about going into a house the the power hasnt been cut off because its hooked up illegaly<BR/><BR/>Having firemen and city inspectors approach criminal growers is the stupidest thing ive ever heard - there is a reason they send the swat team to grow-ops <BR/>You are dealing with potentially very dangerous individuals that may not look kindly on trespassersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-1145374781978698082006-04-18T08:39:00.000-07:002006-04-18T08:39:00.000-07:00Some grow ops folks are no doubt a bit stupid and ...Some grow ops folks are no doubt a bit stupid and might simply plug in past the meter. I would believe most simply bypass the meters which is very dangerous. So let's cut to the chase. Hydro bills shouldn't need to be monitored by big brother. Leave mine alone because anytime governments get into looking over our shoulders it always gets more invasive than first thought.<BR/><BR/>IF the cops want to raid or the firemen want to hose down the place, cut the power on the way in.
