Growing Sites Shutdown by Po-po

Hey all. Just wanted to bring up a topic that has been on my mind lately. Some of us here at Shroomery may have visited or even been members of the site overgrow.com. Overgrow provided help to people growing herb much like Shroomery helps people with boomers. From the information I have gathered, the owner of Overgrow.com was arrested and ordered to shut down the site.
Here is the story
I would hate for the fate of Overgrow to bestowed upon other growing sites, such as shroomery. Does the Shroomery have methods of preventing something like this from happening?

Eh, I was about to post pretty much the same thing about it being a repeat thread, but the link contains actual proof that the guy from overgrow was arrested, and what he was charged with, etc.
So it is useful info.

^^^ Get all the info you can while you can. This has been talked about a few times now and I think the general concensus is that the shroomery is pretty safe

Last I saw posted about it on the shroomery, it was all still rumors and speculation. I had never seen an actual link detailing who was arrested and for what, so I appreciate the info

how do you know thats legit?? there arent any sources listed..
also if you get raided then they cant charge you with trafficking because its sitting in your house, thats like charging someone with an illegal gun that they had it for the purpose of killing someone... hed actually have to be moving it to get charged that...

due to the amount of "stash" you can be charged with trafficking, and attempt to sale/distribute. I know....sadly.

What about convicted? You can be charged with anything. Also, I think they're being charged for it because it's ties to a website with grow instructions and that they distributed seeds. Who knows they might have all the evidence to convict them with every crime they've commited on that server that was confiscated.

Just imagine, if one of the people in there fucked up, such as a mod, and he grew a good amount of plants...he could get the place charged with manufacturing.

Not really. If a guy at taco bell is selling crack through the drive through that doesn't make the manager and corporate taco bell drug dealers. Just the people in possession. I'm sure the mod would be violating site policy if he used the site to distribute anyway, meaning not endorsed by the site.
