Never post photos from your iphone

They are geotagged with your location information.

Cocksuckers scrape these forums for geotagged outdoor grow pics and they rip your harvest, pulling up the exact location of your grow on google maps is but 1 click away with the right software.

I don't doubt it. I've been reading so many posts on these board about looted plots recently. Its gotta hurt so bad to have all that work be for nothing.

Good call though. Personally, I wouldn't take photos with anything that is connected to any sort of network at all. And even then photos are evidence and can lead to shit like this that you normally wouldn't think about. I feel for anyone on the boards that got jacked by these effing thieves.

This is scary to think about. I would think that having any illegal pics on your phone is a bad idea even temporarily.

Good post.

I'm super paranoid about the pics I post. I use Infraview to strip off all the EXIF data and only post pics from my Kodak.

Forget about the pictures, you shouldn't even bring your cell to your plot. If you do, shut it off long before you get there. Your phone does frequent checks for cell towers and this information is stored with your cell provider. Your location can be triangulated as accurately as 50 feet. That information isn't protected by law and the man doesn't even need a subpoena to get it.

I agree with pix posting , but how much I need to be serious grower to they track me ?
It cost a lot gov and there must be some warrant for tracking ... at least here must
be warrant. Warrant need evidence.
Not sure about so big place for paranoia, also cell phone can be located in 10m2 /
90 square ft.
They miss are you on the left or right side of the street.

I have an iPhone and there are three solutions to this.

1. Turn off "Location Services" in preferences - this will turn off the ability of apps (such as Camera) to use your GPS location.

2. Jailbreak your iPhone and your phone will alert you every time an app wants to use your location. You can hit Allow or Don't Allow.

3. Don't use your iPhone to photograph anything illegal, and if you do, don't send them to anyone, tell anyone who sees them that you downloaded them off the internet, and as soon as you don't need that picture on there anymore (you really never needed it on there) you better delete it.

Excellent tip, this should be a sticky for the whole growing section.
