Help drug police waste time
by Rafeala Palmieri (18 Jul, 2005)
When I looked at literature offered to wannabe narks by Abbotsford police, it reminded me of how Hitler's people educated Germans to identify if a person was a Jew or a Jewish sympathizer. According to the pot grower characteristics outlined by police, almost everyone could be considered a suspect- the list of identifying features is that generic.
Look at what the Abford piglets are saying is a sure sign that someone should be suspected of growing pot:
-Rental Accommodations: Almost all marijuana growers will utilize rental property, residence & commercial to avoid damage to their own properties.
-Watch for high humidity levels & alterations to accommodate the grow op.
-Important Note To Landlords: Tenants may pay rent in cash and while having no known source of income, drive expensive cars and use cell phones & pagers.
-Tenants may be reluctant to allow landlords to inspect their rented property and/or make arrangements to meet landlords away from the property to pay rent and/or discuss problems.
-Sometimes growers leave equipment lying around the yard such as nutrient containers, pots, wiring, soil, root balls, aluminum shrouds and PVC piping.
-On garbage day, a grow-op residence most likely will not put out any garbage due to the fact that grow houses are commonly used for the sole purpose of growing marijuana.
-Unusual visitor behaviour: Inconsistencies in visitors to & from the residence, ranging from no visitors giving the appearance of seclusion, to frequent visitors for short time periods. Visitors will often leave one person waiting in the car while the other enters the premises.
-Covered windows: Covered with black plastic, heavy curtains pressed against the windows or blinds that are tightly shut & pressed against the windows.
-Condensation: Humidity inside a grow room is approximately 65% with temperatures ranging between 80 to 90 F. These conditions manifest themselves through condensation on windows.
-Smells & Odors: Skunk-like odor mixed with a sweet vegetative smell or the unique smell of rotting cabbage. Also, the odor of moth balls, chlorine, manure, soap and/or air freshener is frequently utilized ways of trying to mask the smell of the operation.
-Electrical humming, fans, trickling water: Some electrical components in an indoor operation create humming sounds similar to a transformer on a hydro pole.
-Bright lights: High intensity 1000 watt lamps are normally used and sometimes not completely disguised. These lights are the same as used in outdoor public swimming pools, school gyms, outdoor football & baseball parks.
-Localized power surges/browning: Neighbourhood residences experience unexplained power surges or power "browning" (decrease of power which dims lights & slows down appliance use) with the return of normal power flow approximately 12 hours later.
-"Beware of Dog" or "Guard Dog on Duty" signs: Used to deter trespassing, protect against theft and detection by police.
-History of premises: Residence and/or commercial premises have been used as marijuana grow operations in the past. Many of these rental properties are known among the criminal element as having been used for growing marijuana then repeatedly used again.
-Other indicators used as props to deflect any attention by neighbours and police: Outdoor and/or indoor lights, radio and/or TV on for 24 hours, flyers left in mailbox or on the front steps, children's toys & bikes outside without children living or seen at the residence, realty signs posted on front lawn.
Clandestine Lab Site Indicators (Methamphetamine, Speed, Ecstasy). These drugs are being produced in illegal laboratories hurriedly set up in basements, bathrooms, garages and many other places in and around a residence. They pose a danger to our neighbourhoods by being toxic chemicals with the potential for explosions and/or fires.
WHAT CAN YOU DO? Drug dealers and manufacturers have common habits, which can easily be observed.
How To Spot A Clandestine Lab Site:
-Windows blackened out or curtains always drawn.
-Unfriendly tenants appear secretive about their activities. Tenants display paranoid or odd behaviour; watch cars suspiciously when passing by their residence.
-Coming outside to smoke cigarettes.
-Frequent visitors, often driving expensive vehicles.
-Frequent late night activity.
-Unemployed tenants, yet they drive expensive cars, seem to have plenty of money and pay their bills with cash.
-Premises have been outfitted with expensive security.
-Chemical odor coming from the house, apartment, garage or detached building.
-Garbage frequently has numerous bottles and containers: Acetone, Toluene, Muriatic Acid, Red Phosphorus, Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, veterinarian products, methanol, Rubbing Alcohol, sodium hydroxide, Ether, paint thinner, ammonia, etc.
-Tenants setting out their garbage in another neighbour's collection area.
-Metal drums and boxes with labels removed or spray-painted over.
HOLY SMOKES! Just look at all the identifying features of us druggies. If you go outside to smoke or if your curtains are drawn, you're a druggie. If you have lights on, you're a druggie. If you're quiet and have few visitors, or if you have frequent visitors, you're a druggie. If you have a security system, you're a druggie. If you're a renter, you're a druggie. If you leave bikes or other stuff in your yard, you're a druggie. If you have a dog, and a dog warning sign- druggie. If you use soap or mothballs- druggie.
Using these police guidelines as indicators, I guess damn near everybody is a druggie, and everybody should be reported! But I like these lists because it tells me how to reverse engineer my lifestyle so that I don't appear to be a pot grower. I can design my life and cloak my dwelling so that nosy busybodies don't think I am a drug grower or meth lab chemist.
OK, instead of eliminating the odor of rotting cabbage from my indoor grow, I decided to grow outdoors, which is safer for me and my kids. However, I better not do it in Hamilton, Ontario corn fields. If I do, I am likely to be attacked by Constable Anna "Bull" MacPherson of the Hamilton Police Services Vice and Drug Unit. She's out in the fields and hovering above them in her copter, looking for the evil pot plants hiding in secluded corn fields. She's very upset that the feisty weeds, which are planted in spring and grow virtually untended all summer, are outgrowing the corn, becoming "seven feet tall, with two-inch thick stalks." Think of the yield! Corn field pot growing is done in response to the police war on indoor growing. The police don't like the fire risk or theft of electricity (we call electricity "hydro" up here in Canada) caused by indoor grows. So we oblige them by moving our grow ops to corn fields, and then they come after our corn pot crops. What gives?
If you grow outdoors, you don't have to buy grow lights or steal electricity. You don't have to worry about indoor molds and odor reduction.Problem is, you have to deal with real weather and you can only do one crop per year. And, you have to worry about some farmer finding your weed before you can get back into the farmer's field to harvest it. Hamilton police are pissed because last year only three outdoor cornfield pot grows were busted, and that was only because farmers reported the crops after noticing that their corn plants had munchies. The police wanted to find something on their own, dammit. Seeing an opportunity to waste tax money and make themselves look tough while attacking plants that can't shoot back, the Ontarian piglets are gearing up for a big copter flyover that they call "Outdoor Eradication Day."
According to Constable MacPherson, there are enough outdoor corn pot grow operations across Hamilton's rural region to keep police busy every day all summer long. She is a real genius, folks; you can tell when she says you can identify pot plants because they don't look like corn and are even a different color. Really? Wow, I never knew that! It's not so easy to take down those pot plants, she murmurs. The plants emit psychic plant screams when they are cut; the courageous anti-pot piglets, many of them who look like pork bellies, are grunting as they sweat their way into fields and then back out with stacks of medicine cut and to be burned, or more likely sold by police or their civilian lackeys on the street. And because nobody knows who put the pot in the corn, there's nobody to bust. Darn!
Just like GrandNark Chris Taulu and other cretins who want everyone to become an informant, MacPherson has her list of what to be on the lookout for in corn country:
-"Suspicious characters prowling in the area;
Unknown vehicles parked on the side of the road for short periods;
-Footpaths not normally present;
-Open areas surrounded by large trees;
-Chicken wire, bamboo and other items on the side of pathways and trails;
-Corn that has its kernels arranged in 420 patterns."
OK! Report that chicken wire now. Protect our corn!
I got really stoned on some Emery-seed weed just now and ran out to my local pay phone with a bucketful of quarters to call the Hamilton crime-stoppers anti-pot tip line. In my delirious stoned condition, I figured the best way to fight this nark nation shit before we are all in concentration camps is with some misleading, police time wasting, false information, and humor. So I remembered a road's name and features where there are corn fields. It's way out in the boonies and hard to get to. It would take a police unit a long time to get there. What a terrible thing if they got lost trying to find the non-existent crop I tipped them off about!
I called that grow ops tips line and told them I had seen chicken wire, suspicious prowlers, and unknown vehicles. I told them it looked like there's a pot grow in a field near a swamp on that area. I forgot to tell them that this is an area that if you hike in it, you get bugs on you that bite your genitals and cause a nasty rash.
That was tip number one.
Tip Number Two was a call to the Abbotsford police tips line after tracking down the home address of the mayor and police chief, and then I reported those addresses as possible grow ops. The tip line officer politely thanks me, and I feel like a good citizen.
I move to a different pay phone, drop in a few more coins, and call Vancouver's tip line, to report the home of Ian and Chris Taulu as a possible drug house. Whoever I spoke with probably was not Chris or Ian. They dutifully took my tip, and thanked me for helping Vancouver rid itself of these "bad people."

Hahah. Well, I mean some of it is true, though I don't think they should be training us to report. A guy across the street from us is doing something, but we don't care. His son was my brothers friend, and he isn't/wasn't allowed to go into the basement under ANY circumstances (which could mean a kinky sex room for all I know haha), but he has people coming for 10 minutes at a time ALL the time. And his house just smells rotton as fuck. So we assume he's growing or selling, but really who the fuck cares? It isn't hurting anyone!
hurt:
Keep up the great tips, you are an asset to law enforcement everywhere!!
