How the f*ck does increased electrical usage automatically get associated with home-growing hydroponics anyway? I mean, ANYTHING can cause a spike in usage (of electricity) - a new television, a second refrigerator, switching to electric heating from gas, an air conditioner. . . All these things have fairly substantial current draws. I wonder what inspires someone to look at the "bump" on your meter and say "oh, they're growing pot - go kick their door down!" Guilty until proven innocent? Or is there more to it than that? I'd think a bump in electrical use by itself wouldn't NEARLY rise to the level of probable cause necessary to get a warrant. . .
