And to think regulars on this board are for more liberalism here in America. Stop giving our rights up in the interest of the state, or the public welfare, or we'll have the same shit going on here in America!

Liberal Government Helps Communities Bust Grow-Ops


Amendments to the Safety Standards Act will help local authorities target and shut down marijuana grow operations more quickly and efficiently.
April 6, 2006

VICTORIA – Amendments to the Safety Standards Act will help local authorities target and shut down marijuana grow operations more quickly and efficiently, Minister Responsible for Housing Rich Coleman announced today.
“The number of grow-ops in our province is increasing and so are the problems associated with these operations,” said Coleman. “Grow-ops are more likely to catch fire, more likely to have guns inside and are more likely to be robbed. They pose a danger to our neighbourhoods and we’re determined to shut them down.”
With these amendments, electricity companies will be required to give municipalities information about residences with unusual power consumption, so local authorities can target grow-op houses more efficiently.
“Marijuana grow-ops are a $7-billion industry in B.C. and they are largely controlled by organized crime,” said John Les, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. “This new tool will be an innovative way to find out where these criminals are operating and put them out of business.”
Grow-ops in homes also pose an electrical safety risk. A house with a grow-op is considerably more likely to catch fire than a typical home. Dangling lights and wires can trap emergency responders and result in electrocution.
Fire Chief Len Garis, chair of the Fire Chiefs Association of BC, Public Safety Initiative, welcomed the new legislation. “When our members enter homes, our first priority is firefighter safety and to save lives,” he said. “We don’t want to worry about the additional threats posed by grow-ops, such as electrocution from dangling wires and dangerous lights.”
“I’m pleased that the government of British Columbia is leading the fight against grow operations,” said Marvin Hunt, president of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. “A pilot project conducted in Surrey last year demonstrated how successful this approach can be. In just three months, we dismantled 119 grow operations. This legislation will clearly go a long way for B.C. communities.”


Tips from the public remain the best source of information for police about potential grow-ops. Here are several ways to identify possible grow operations:
  • Entry to the home is usually through the garage or a back entrance to conceal activity.
  • Windows are boarded or covered and may have a layer of condensation.
  • Equipment such as large fans, lights and plastic plant containers is carried into the home.
  • Sounds of construction or electrical humming can be heard.
  • Strange odours (a skunk-like smell) emanate from the house.
  • The neighbourhood experiences localized surges or decreases in power.

Wonder if one of our fellow members was involved with this ? I think it's possible...
Great Britan has already banned some fast food, and some speach. It's speading.

I don't know how this tramping on some peoples rights, in order to try to protect others, but it started something like this.

1. Guns are dangerous, so we're going to pass more laws.

2. Drinking and driving won't be tolerated, so you must submit to random searches.

3. Hate speech (whatever they decide this means) won't be tolerated, because certain people deserve special privileges.

4. You must submit to a drug test if you want this job.

5. Right wing radicals should be ratted out by their friends and neighbors, or some shit.

In the 80's we called this the slippery slope, but nobody believed it. Next you'll have a chip in a card, and then implanted in your body so that you can be identified.

Not to mention they are putting RFID tags in american cash now. Which they can use to physically track people now. Don't believe me? Go get a brand new $20 bill from the bank and put it in the microwave.
