According to a motion the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed in Sacramento Superior Court last week, Nguyen and Decker are only two of more than 33,000 Sacramento-area people who have been flagged to the sheriff’s department by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, the electricity provider for the region. SMUD called the customers out for using what it and department investigators said were suspiciously high amounts of electricity indicative of illegal cannabis farming.
I know. And they do it now days with no warrants in the US which is supposed to be illegal. All other points are very valid.

A lot of growers use basements which obscures a lot of thermal imaging. Including under ground shipping containers, cellars, and more.

I still think profiling should be illegal and there should be some strict laws in place to catch criminals the right ways but rant for another time.
Most modern people don’t have access to all that advanced tech, don’t care, feel it should be legal, poor, average. Not some criminal enterprise. Thanks for uploading the photos though for others to see.
