Aren't we being overly paranoid to think that the police would spend their time trying to entrap people on the internet?

I wrapped my house and router in tin foil, to keep them out of my EMF waves.

Seems like such a waste of time and a piss poor tactic at achieving any results.

I work for the government as a contractor, wasting time and especially money is about the only thing that I would say they are good at.

It's the same as thinking that the police would entrap someone on craigslist in a drug deal. I'm sure if some idiot posts an ad on the internet to sell a drug and the police monitor that site I'm sure they would try and bust

Like they dont use Instagram and other social media to bust folks, right?

I don't think that there any local/city police operations dedicated to the mushroom grower.

This mentality has lead to many arrests, surely.

Maybe the DEA has a team that monitors Reddit or the shroomery and traces our IP back from comments posted, all to stop the insidious mushroom grower.

I'd wager a large sum of money to say that there is at least some form of harvesting going on in these communities online, and should a need ever arise or any other evidence come into question, these would surely be investigated.

I also think that it's the last thing on that list to be worried about from just about everyone's perspective. Mushrooms aren't connected to violence like other drugs like cocaine, heroin, pretty much all of them actually, even weed.

See my last statement about folks getting caught.

But shit, I'm more worried about having my Amazon shopping history leaked or sold to authorities than anything else. I'd have some serious explaining to do. :-/

These are legitimate purchases as someone who grows gourmet mushrooms, there is nothing illegal about that ;)

OPSEC should be taken seriously. Act like they are watching, and you won't make mistakes that could lead to catastrophic failures.

OPSEC is something I think many of the folks in this community take for granted, but I am happily posting from the comfort of wherever the fuck I wish because of what some might call 'paranoia'. I think a healthy dose of paranoia is good for anyone involved in anything which could be perceived as illegal, otherwise that's just plain arrogance in my opinion.
