I don't get why the power company would do this shit.
As long as the person is current with their bill, they are getting paid.
Or was the employee an excuse for another method used?
Such BS they are pulling.
What's considered a "normal" amount? 2000kw a month? 1000?

Im surprised that we haven't heard more about these types of raids. The only thing that makes it non-news in the bitcoin world is that he was probably growing marijuana or at least had some when they did the raid. Now, if we have a story of some poor miner that didn't have drugs and was raided, that would be news.
Ooops, I should decrease my hash rate...
the police will come if you're using too much power??
If a in the original article not the fabricated one , you have a criminal record in MJ growing and somebody tips again the police it's likely.
Heat-Sensing Helicopters have been detecting heat signatures through walls in the UK long before Bitcoins creation and raiding on this alone. I guess this is probably harder to spot in your wooden homes.

From PoW to PoE (Police Enforcement).
Don't smoke shit if you mine...

BROADWAY, Va. -- Friday night, Jonas Diener was out on bond after being arrested earlier on in the week for possession of marijuana.
It isn't the first time he has been caught with marijuana. In 2010, he was caught with nearly a half pound of the drug while on the job at Rosetta Stone.
Diener's home is now the center of an investigation. Rockingham County Sheriff Bryan Hutcheson says it began after the sheriff's office received a tip from an anonymous person about illegal activity.
A search warrant WHSV obtained points out that a source with the Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative determined that Diener was using eight times the normal amount of electricity for his home.
"Upon conducting the search, we did find marijuana at the residence and those were the charges that we placed against that individual," said Hutcheson.
He says that lead to another discovery.
"We also found a very large volume of computer type of equipment, a computer operation. Again it was not consistent with what you would find in a residence," said Hutcheson.
That computer is now at a Drug Enforcement Agency crime lab.
"They are looking at that to determine exactly what it is, what it is all about. There's a number of things that it could possibly be," said Hutcheson.
Neighbors tell us they don't think Diener is a threat to the community.
Diener was not available for comment Friday when we attempted to interview him. His next court appearance is December 3.

BITCOIN?
Bitcoin anywhere? Not saying this happened here...but don't cops have a habit of "finding" things when they need to.
I propose a situation whereby they were tipped off and did raid his home, found nothing and knew after all the recent lashing out at police tactics they would be in a difficult position since they just broke into his home with flimsy probable cause. A deal was made which benefited the guy and so the sentence was conveniently "suspended".
I don't know much about your legal system, but is this a possibility?

It's far more possible that a former MJ dealer had some drugs in his house isn't it?
Let's be honest , guys dealing in illegal drugs don't suddenly turn into angels.
Quite true, but as we all know there is always three sides to a story, i was throwing in a hypothesis.
No , it's not always. And in this case it's just people trying to justify their wrong doings and blaming for all their failure in life.
Also , apart from this crappy blog post , do we have any confirmation this story actually happened?

Weird that the cops haven't showed up at my door yet, but then again I only have 4 miners operational.
Do you also have a background in Mj growing and a criminal record?
Maybe that's the difference.

I wish they'd lock all those mariwane druggies up and throw away the keys. I don't know why they can't just drink whiskey like the rest of us. Whiskey never causes all the problems those druggie perverts have. I don't know why they didn't just shoot em' while they had the chance! They brought enough guns to solve the problem. Shoot their friggin kids too. They'll just grow up to live on welfare and take drugs anyway. Now the rest of us GOD fearin', church goin' folks are gonna have to pay to keep that worthless pervert locked up. They should just ship em' all to the state o' Mariurado so we don't have to pay for em'.
This sounds like a joke but I know people that think this way. One of them is a true drunken wife beater that is actually brave enough to show up at church on Sunday morning escorting a wife with a black eye.

I feel that way for crimes against children, violent crimes, or crimes committed with weapons of any kind if stated in an intelligent manner minus the "Skydaddy" addition.
Back on topic, you don't get much dumber than having been previously been busted for a grow operation knowing damn well your heat signature from an airborne thermal cam can be seen from 3000 meters as well as you electricity usage screaming you're at it again, even if it is something benign. Even dumber was having MJ present under those circumstances period.
This guy was stupid.
Stupidity cost him.

I think raiding the house with a large armed tactical squad wielding assault rifles may be over doing it a bit. That looks like the ground troops that were used on the raid of Osama bin Laden's compound. If they were afraid to knock on the door they should have just used a Pyros small tactical munition fired from a sentinel drone.
Pictures are not from this "arrest".

I think your suggestion/"joke" is a little bit extreme, however drug users do cause a lot of crime. People who are addicted to drugs generally will do a lot to try to get their "fix" including prostituting themselves, robbing homes/people/stores (including potentially killing people who get in their way). There is also a much higher rate of domestic violence among drug users then there is of alcoholics. This sounds like a joke but I know people that think this way.

It is also true that many people on welfare abuse drugs with government/taxpayer money
That's really a lame tactic trying to lump cannabis with all other drugs/drug related crimes just to prove your point. If cannabis grows were so dangerous you would have seen crime rates go up in the states the grows are legal but that hasn't happened. If anything it has done more to do to lesson "crime", like police arresting non violent people for possessing small amounts of cannabis.

Wow, pot must have improved a lot since the 70's. I'm going to have to get some of the new stuff and try it out. The last time I got high Columbian Gold was coming out of Florida by the truckload. That should tell you how long it's been. The only thing I was ever motivated enough to do high was eat twinkies. I think I would have forgotten what I was mad about long before I ever got around to beating my wife. It's much more likely that I would have beaten off watching her eat twinkies.

I think he was making a joke about marijuana specifically. I think a meth-head is more likely to rob and kill someone for a fix than a pothead. If you're going to lump marijuana with cocaine and meth into a generic label of "drugs", you can also make an argument that alcohol is a drug and alcoholics are also drug users.
