TV Cable Installers Search Homes to Assist Police

Paranoid idoit........I work for TCI/AT&T. The company would never get involved........

I think you guys are on drugs...that is stupid. Why would you allow a person in your house if you have drugs out in the open?

been in the industry 5 years..installing..never not once have i ever been approached to do something of this nature..have wasted alot of time moving customers crap out of the way to do the install

I have heard about this also. A neighbor of mine in Foster City, CA is a security expert who was hired by TCI to perform these searches, his own boss and co-workers were unaware of his real job. It was his bosses boss who was aware of the searches and worked with the police. Basically, TCI has a few high-up individuals that run this program with the police. Apparently his co-workers began suspecting that he was not qualified as an installer and he had to quit the job tomaintain the program cover.

I don't know about anybody else but this did give me more feedback for my Persuausive Sppech on Illegal Police Searches for my speech class. Thanks!

Paranoid freak - obviously using too many of the drugs you are describing.

This is a load of bull! cable tv installers are told from day one not to enter any dwelings without adult presence there! they do not search for drugs but only imbecils leaves them laying around...

omg! did someone really write this...what an idiot..one bit of advice...STAY OFF THE METHAMPHETAMINE!

I have overheard conversations confirming this occurred for several years in Foster City, CA. Cable TV installers and their bosses were working in cahoots with the local police mostly to obtain info on suspected drug dealers. The gig was not approved by the people one would expect to know about it. Kind of a secret operation only known by a few cable employees and a few police.

Also meter readers, who enter your property to check your meter, can report any illegal plants growing in your yard

Cable guys can not report you using drugs, if drugs are present, and asked by the police, cable has to take the 5th, it is company policy.

If people obeyed the law they wouldn't have to worry about cable installers. God is watching anyway!

Well guess what the electric company does the same thing for the PIGGYS!!!!!!!

I burnt a joint with a cable guy, to get my cable hooked up.

i,ve installed for 15 years and this guy is full of shit
