Yes, Officer, a server farm.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 54 points 6 months ago

This has actually happened a few times now. Police raiding bitcoin miners homes because they think its a grow house.

[-] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 49 points 6 months ago

The LAPD did one recently on a medical imaging office because apparently it's suspicious that an office full of XRAY and MRI machines uses a lot of power.

[-] nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works 41 points 6 months ago

Is that the one where the idiot cop got his gun stuck in the MRI and hit the emergency button to shut it down?

[-] PrincessKadath@ani.social 17 points 6 months ago

Wait, what? 😱 Got a news link for this utter imbecile actions?

The first officer retrieved his rifle and left the scanner room “leaving behind a magazine filled with bullets on the office floor.”

Nice when they refill the MRI and need to quench it again.

Unless he was using steel case rounds, most ammunition isn't magnetic, it wasn't going to cause issues with the machine.... he's still a fucking idiot though.

[-] IsoSpandy@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago

An MRI works at 3T to 7T. At that range oxygen is slightly magnetic (Everything is magnetic, just not ferromagnetic). This can cause damage to the machine if it misaligned a critical component.

The spring in the clip is steel

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

That's fair, I miss read that, assumed he had dumped a mag full of rounds on the ground, vs a mag with rounds in it.

[-] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 10 points 6 months ago

Absolutely gobsmacked at these complete fucking morons

[-] Tja@programming.dev 4 points 6 months ago

If they were smart, they wouldn't be allowed to be cops...

[-] PrincessKadath@ani.social 6 points 6 months ago

Thank you for the link. My (already low) faith in humanity just took a nose dive.

[-] nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

At least it looks like it hasn't happened twice?

My favorite is the cop baiters. It's illegal to use IR to identify grow houses in whatever state they operate in, so they aluminum foil the heck out of a house and crank the heat so it stands out. When the police come in based off a nonexistent anonymous tip, they're basically caught breaking the law red handed.

Can't find the video but I'll keep looking.

Edit: https://youtu.be/uunOZexpHEI

I've seen that they also called in an anonymous tip about the house, which in itself is not enough for a warrant but the cops raided anyway.

Do you mean Barry Cooper with KopBusters?

Formerly a police officer in Texas, Cooper is best known for KopBusters, a series of online videos in which he attempts to document police misconduct, and Never Get Busted Again, a series of videos aimed at teaching citizens how to evade false arrest by the police.

You probably meant this Video about it that went viral.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Yes! Just found a news report about it a few minutes ago and added it but thanks for finding a fuller version.

[-] 790@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

This seems like a terrible idea. Even if you're not committing any crime why would you want cops to pay attention to you?

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

They did it to expose the cops performing illegal searches.

[-] 790@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

I get why they did it, but I'm not bringing cops to my door as a gotcha.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

The big crime here is that the police don't arrest everyone in the house and do a full team photo-op in front of the racks before they demolish the property.

The author is German, and cannabis is currently decriminalized in Germany. Not saying there's zero reason to have a clandestine growing operation, but the need isn't as pressing as it usually is.

[-] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 months ago

Cannabis being decriminalized does not mean there aren't huge grow ops still. Most people who smoke cannot or don't want to grow their own.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I literally said that I'm not saying there's zero reason.

[-] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago

Well I can't read! apparently.
