maybe this kind of a thread has been around here but i couldn't find it. anyway, how safe is MSN for drug related talk? how easily could law enforcement listen onto it? or do they need reasonable doubt to do it anyway? if i ordered a spore print then they would still need a warrant to hack my PC?
yeah i'm paranoid.

not very?
it's not encrypted and certainly sends a lot of data even when you're not chatting. i'd use a different program built for secure convo's. i'm sure they'd have to have reasonable doubt but tbh, especially if you live in the US, your privacy is less important than the war on drugs.

I wouldn't fret about it. Since when has talking about drugs been illegal?

well it was a dumb friend who started talking like "lol you still grow mushrooms? i wanna grow them too!" and i said that i don't know what she's talking about and THEN she said "you know, the ones growing in that container next to your bed". and i said i don't know if she's confusing me with someone else but that joking like that wasn't funny and i blocked her in case she kept bullshitting me.
spore prints are totally legal here so i'm thinking they aren't tapping my cell and listening to my MSN, even in most countries that would be unreasonable without hard evidence first, right?

I know of very few law enforcement agencies that would actually bother to monitor terabytes of data traffic just to pick the odd mushroom grower out of the mass. It would be a somewhat different story if you trafficked 250lbs of cocaine each month, but in your case, I wouldn't worry too much.

To have secure IM conversations you can use something like SimpLite, Pidgin-Encryption or Jabber with SSL.

Unless you're talking very blatantly about huge scale dealing, you're safe. The police don't care that you grow mushrooms, eat them and maybe give a few to your friends. Most of the people who get caught over the internet are utter idiots, like that guy who had photos of his weed plants on his myspace, with his real name and address on the same page.

Ive done plenty of talk over msn. Im no dealer and I dont grow or buy large amounts of any sort of drug. I doubt the popo will go through so much trouble to find small time users...

Has anyone heard from bored5tiff recently? It's been almost 70 minutes since he made a post. I can only assume he's in jail.

You all need to lay off the coke / ganja.
