| ok,i live in upstate new york,in a rural area.and i heard a couple of months back that every year,the police(or some authority figure)searches over the wooded areas of the state with helicopters,and appearently,they are able to find where there is marijuana being grown in the woods,due to it being a different color than the trees.and apperently thats how they are able to bust people for growing it.IMO,i'm alittle sceptical of this story,cause there are never any helicopters that fly over the area where i live.one or two may come around every blue moon,but it definatly doesn't look like they are searching for anything,it looks more like they are just trying to get to a another destination.what do you guys think? do you think this is true? or just a load of shit?? |

| They can see from above that if you have a grow room in your basement or something. They see it using the heat vision.

No, the police cannot use that technology to do so without obtaining a search warrant first. This has been the case for quite some time subsequent to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that determined that such surveillance is in violation of our 4th Amendment rights...

| It depends on a quite of few factors like citizens hinting tips to the Police Departments and online MESSAGE BOARDS could be used who knows? Just be safe. I know in Hawaii the Police have fun intercepting quality Marijuana plants every year.

| yeah, it's true. happens here every fall or when a drug bust is needed to happen in the county. living in west virginia has its advantages, though .. you always have a place to grow weed, even in areas helicopters can't see. the biggest drug bust happened within the area, though .. millions worth was cut down and destroyed.

| Different kinds of plants reflect different spectrums of light. By using color-enhanced video cameras, they can easily detect the difference between cannabis plants and surrounding trees.
