Lights, camera, police action

A marijuana grower purportedly from Canberra has posted videos on YouTube of his efforts to grow the drug under artificial lights in his home.

 

Police are examining the footage from seven short videos that include basic tips and progress of the illegal activity.

 

 

The videos include intermittent narration from a man, whose only appearance on camera is his hand reaching for the plant.

 

 

Police are investigating the videos and were set to contact administrators at YouTube to find out the origins of the video and about taking the items down.

 

 

Detective Sergeant Dave Harrison from ACT Policing said police were looking into the postings, most of which were uploaded recently.

 

 

''ACT Policing is monitoring the posting of such videos and is investigating the latest content,'' he said. Police will also investigate potential charges related to the publishing of the videos.

 

 

In one of the videos, the narrator describes the progress: ''It's really taken off now, quite happy''.

 

 

He describes the plant as being ''very healthy with a little bit of stretch, but all in all pretty good from seed''.

 

 

In a description for one of the videos, the poster identified as jacobb9595 talks about the plants as being fed ''nothing but organics, using maxicrop which is a seaweed-base nutrient''.

 

 

One of the videos, lasting for 15 seconds, shows mature marijuana plants under lights. The video was posted about a year ago. Others show a seedling up to 46-days-old, apparently grown from seed.

The police are chasing this? They can go frig themselves.

 

Hopefully the guy used an anonymous IP to upload the videos- otherwise he is not very bright and not paranoid enough.

 

I wonder if they snoop on this forum.

They might but unlike YouTube who will cooperate with LEO to hand over IP details this site won't. The moral of the story is, if you want to upload videos, is go upload at PotTV. YouTube are do-gooder tossers. As much as I'd like to want to see this guy get away he'll be nicked. Digging around on 'police', 'youtube' 'Canberra' and 'arrests' and I find the AFP were successful in a recent bust of a Canberran motorcycle rider who hooned through the nation's capital and had put his adventures up on YouTube.

Youtube will not provide any info unless they have a court document, and they will not remove the video because it does not violate US law.

Tricky....

Does anyone know how many plants he has? Canberra has decriminalization laws in place for cultivation, I think from memory it was 2 plants! If he's under the decriminalized amount, he'd only get a fine anyway. Lot of effort to go to for a fine!!
