    A judge would sign a search warrant because of a power bill? Damn

      There might also be a followup examination with a thermal camera of the property, which with a server farm, would also show significantly elevated temperatures.

      This is why most of us in the USA live in constant fear that our hobbies of basement aluminum smelting operations will land us on the wrong side of the law enforcement.

        While everyone else lives in fear that their basement aluminum smelting hobby will land them in the morgue due to the fumes.

        Imagine if growing a plant in your home was legal and the police had to figure out something else to do with their time

        I sometimes wonder if really serious reptile hobbyists, the kind that’ll have like a whole room full of terrariums, have to deal with suspicious cops. Reptiles like warmth, heat mats and lamps take power, one of the most popular brands for heat mat thermostats is technically meant for controlling indoor plant heating, and if they want to grow live plants in any of their animals habitats they might need grow lights too.

      judges here will sign warrants for anything. the way their positions are doled out a key qualification to being a judge who signs warrants is intrinsically trusting cops

      Not even a power bill. They have been known to sign warrants for nothing more than an off the shelf infrared scanner/heat scanner showing increased heat from a specific unit in a building compared to the surrounding ones.

      Like your house nice and toasty in the winter? That’s a no-knock-raid.

      A judge would sign a search warrant because a cop pinky swears the target is a black ms13 Muslim antifa commiesocialmarxist.

      I’ve had cops come around to check out what they could when I was living with roommates and we had all kinds of equipment that used lots of electricity. We actually got a letter from the power company telling us we were in the 99th percentile of residential power use and to consider how much money we could save with lower power use. I’m sure if the cops saw anything they could construe as evidence when they were snooping around they would then easily get a warrant and do a raid.

  Happened not long ago that, for the same reason, police raided a tomography & XRay clinic. Guess what, an MRI needs serious power to work…

  • realbadat@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    If I remember right, one cop brought his rifle in which got sucked into the MRI machine.

    Even the warrant was based on a cop lying iirc. The basis boiled down to something like “energy use and tinted windows”, which, you know… Medical imaging and patient privacy.

    Idiots and asswipes.

      And then they hit the emergency shutdown, which is for when people have a plate in their head and they’re stuck to the side of the machine. That one causes all the liquid helium to be quenched, thus needing to be refilled.

      There is a slower shutdown that doesn’t do that, but, you know, cops.

      Every detail of that story was worse than the last, and it’s 100% on the cops.

        A button worth $25,000 on the low end to refill+replace the magnet, a million on the high end if it needs total replacement. It calls to me when I sit with the mri techs. Looking like SpongeBob trying to not push it sitting in the back.

        Thats right! I forgot about that part.

        Cops are nightmarish levels of stupidity.

      Guns getting sucked into MRI machines is a recurring news story at this point.

        So, a moment of curiosity.

        If my theoretical pistol did get pulled into am MRI machine, stuck against it by the magnet, and I, for the purpose of scientific inquiry, pulled the trigger, should I expect the bullet to fire more or less as normal, to fire, but the bullet be pulled back to the machine, or for the bullet to not move, or not move more than an inch or so from the barrel?

        There are “kinder eggs” here now, but they are in no way the kinder eggs that they have in Europe. They’re the same brand, but with a ton more plastic packaging so that we don’t get all confused about what’s chocolate and what’s not.
