And it didnt have NOTHING to do with hig HUGE backyard sog garden..with ALOT of plants?....in plain view of anyone?....

I believe Lougrow was too cocky..in this day and age,with so many nosy pricks everywhere..you gotta be careful with what you say,let alone do...and having a shit load on marijuana plants in plain view in the backyard is bound to get some attnetion..

BUT...maybe someone has more information why he was busted..he was pretty notorious for his huge backyard grows though..:tumbleweed:

Like I said, I believe it was IN PART because of some pics. Of course it was pics of that huge garden. I remember it well. Fuck the cops was the name of that thread :ying:

My friend got busted for posting on the internet that he was going to hang out with me and his phone was dieing, but actually went to hang out with some skeeze. His GF called me to talk to him and I said he wasn't with me. Next time he might let me know I'm his cover first lol.

Wait, this thread meant something else didn't it?

The thread is about posting on the internet. I would be careful about any communications that can be construed as a conspiracy. That could include any emails or PMs that suggest an exchange or plans to do something, be involved or "conspire". Those are my big concerns. Presumably if LEO got my computer they could eventually access my emails and PMs on boards. So, I try to be careful.

Gmail has to be the worst email you can have. Google copies all content from both you and whomever you send email to and makes a database and profile about you. Also if you use google as a search engine, same thing. They are building a profile of you based on all of your internet searches and traffic. Use startpage.com instead people.


Yeah I figured that out a bit too late then switched to hushmail and that was hacked and I believe they are now in that one aswell and Tor aswell. So if there is an email they are not in or are not getting in I would love to know. I don't put shit in my emails I'm just sick of them reading them. Sick of them following my seaches aswell and then putting that info in my email aswell.
Where is the "Land of the free" crap?? LOL that shit is so funny now when you think about it lol headband 707:comfort:

For anyone who is interested in protecting themselves but lacking in the technological know how, try Tails. It runs from a USB or CD so you can keep your Windows as your regular OS and then conduct your seedy anonymous activities in encrypted privacy whilst masquerading as a technically clueless dunderhead.

Not to start an OS war but most Linux distros are several rungs up the security ladder from Windows, straight out of the gate. With a distro like Tails, used correctly, you would have to try pretty hard to mess your anonymity up. There's also another similar distro called Liberte but I haven't tried it. In fact I, uh, haven't tried Tails either! :tongue:

Tormail is a very interesting situation. For those unaware, it's a hidden service hosted on the Tor network. This lends it enormous anonymity properties (If you've heard of the Silk Road, that's also a hidden service famed for it's current unbustability - I even read that Tormail is integral to the whole operation of SR - makes sense if true). However, nobody can really say who runs Tormail. It could be the NSA, could be the SR crew, could be a pack of enterprising gypsies. Other than that though, it's secure as fuck. Anyone who's doing anything serious can simply encrypt their communications, rendering them unreadable to the Tormail administrators and indeed, the whole world apart from who it was actually sent to. Call me crazy but that's actually how emails or any other private communication should be. It's preposterous that someone has to go to such lengths for such a simple human need.

So, not that it means much, but I feel reasonably safe with tormail. Certainly a million times better than any major webmail or ISP mail pumping my emails to the authorities. Those are absolutely untrustable unless you go to a lot of effort to obscure yourself and it's easy to slip up.

I can understand the laid back guys being not too concerned. Frankly there is a lot worse stuff happening online than a bunch of us guys. A problem I see with that mindset though is that all the true criminals have taken steps to essentially be unbustable, since that technology exists and it's reasonably easy, leaving you guys as the dreaded "low hanging fruit".

Hope you all stay safe and high. :biggrin:
 
I was listening to Glenn Greenwald the other day, he said that the FEDS have something like ten trillion emails via Patriot Act.

I don't think terrorists send ten trillion emails.

There are plenty of cases floating around in which FEDS snooped using Patriot Act justification for drug cases.

n As for hushmail et al, I don't think you guys understand that none of that matters anymore. 10 years ago it did. Now cops don't need a warrant to get private information. The privacy policy of individual companies means nothing. Cops just say its related to national security, boom cased closed, they can now snoop.

Tor is a waste of time in 2012 America, sorry guys.
