I've heard stories about google earth being used my suspicious wife's & husband's, but this is going to make the paranoid out there, very paranoid.

aint that a bitch. who would have thought they would get busted by an internet satellite?

 

BOO thats sad to hear. Must be a real bummer getting caught like that. Let the Marijuana grow

 

What were they looking for? Crop circles?

 

yea i know
its funny the government seeks to destroy something that grows naturally
although this wasnt a natural set up obviously, its the same plant
i dont get how u can make nature illegal

 

Yeah i know I do not agree with it either.

 

FTA: "Officers discovered the hemp field in the northeastern canton (state) of Thurgau last year while investigating an alleged drug ring, said the head of Zurich police's specialist narcotics unit Norbert Klossner."

However, I read another article earlier that stated:

"The arrests were part of a larger operation, said the police. Officers were using Google Earth to find the addresses of two suspects, then coincidentally discovered two acres of weed hidden inside a corn field. Whoops."

 

how can you tell what they look like from the air? i never got that, i can tell fields from trees, but that is about the extent of my expertise with satellite pictures, i guess hats why I am not a Swiss cop.

 

where i live, there is always someone out flying around in a helicopter at some point during farming season looking for suspicious looking crops in the middle of corn fields

 

Sucks to get busted by someone sitting behind a desk and using a universal website to peek in on your life. I don't smoke but think it should be legal. You can't overdose, it doesn't make you violent, and it gives you the munchies so the economy would pick up by way of little debbie and cheetos sales!
