no, being paranoid is good....but sometimes when you get too paranoid its hella unhealthy.. real stressful.
fyi, i've never known anybody to get busted with JUST Infrared. NEVER. Infrared has always been used to put the icing on the cake.
just make sure you're not stupid with your shit, and cover your tracks.
that covers everything from SMELL, discarding of used mediums, old/empty nutrients bottles, etc. etc.
blv it or not....why would they go thru IR and all the procedures, expenses, and getting a warrant from the judge when they could tell the garbage man to separate your trash and detain it for them for free well not for free, but much less hassle.
then if they find some evidence in your trash (which is not private once you put it on the curb), they will try to get warrants for your electricity then they may use IR just to put a knife in the coffin.
most folks get busted for stealing electricity, running their lips...flapping their gums, and trash.
air cooling lights also HELP defeat the purpose of using IR to find grow ops
