I personally know about a dozen as friends, and others through those.

Most of them are good folks, but even some of them have admitted to being jerks just because they had a bad day. And then there are the ones that are jerks just because they can.... but they're not generally very popular even with their own.....

Shortly after I moved into my house I had some local law enforcement knock on my door and ask about the lights in the basement and my power bill(my fish room has 1 large basement window). I pointed to the large fish tank behind me, and they still didn't believe me. After a short tour of the house, they said they put a BOLD note on my file stating they had investigated a complaint and what they found. They told me after that the only reason they didn't come busting in the front door is because 'no actual large scale criminal would be so stupid as to not cover the windows or attempt to hide their operation'.

Nice guys, but when I answered the door, 2 of them had their guns out, but pointed down.

First thing I did when I was setting up my system was to let the neighbours know what I was up to. I'm not so worried about the cops.... petty criminals and gangs looking for a easy mark. Oh one more thing I had a family member who was a cop, and he told me that the cops watch and record people going in and out of the stores that supply grow ops. FYI

Similar to my situation but no guns out. They really didn't believe me. My lawyer (who is my cousin actually) was ****ed that I said go ahead and look around. He wanted to go to court and looking back I wish I had shut up.

We did file a complaint though since the idiots wouldn't even let my fiance get dressed properly and made us stand by the front door. Guilty until proven innocent...thats how it works with the cops right?

Who cares? I know more lawyers than cops and trust me, I would be more afraid of lawyers if I were a cop than a law abiding citizen who ****ed off a few cops on a fish forum. If thats what you were insinuating.

Hi all, there are some funny stories in this thread, but please cut out the bashing of people based on profession. This can easily stay on the light and funny side.
As a taxpayer, parent and rental property owner, I'm happy that cops check out this kind of stuff. Yes, they've beento my door about the lights, we all had a good laugh about it.

Contrary to popular belief, Hydro does not report excessive usage to the police, use as much power as you want, as long as you pay the bill, Hydro doesnt care what you are doing. The only contact Hydro has with police is after they bust you and the cops call Hydro to pull the meter if there are electrical issues.

I was wondering about this too when I first started reading this thread. I thought there was a privacy act in play that protected customer's consumption use. And hydro would report to the rcmp if they noticed more power being consumed than metered (meter bypass).
