Marijuana SNIFFING Spy Helicopter (read video description for English comment)

The Netherlands - Police in the northeastern Achterhoek region revealed on Tuesday the success of using an unmanned miniature helicopter to track down the illegal cultivation of cannabis.

The first flight of a newly-designed mini helicopter, or canna-chopper, fitted with cameras and a sniffer on Tuesday morning had already led to the discovery of a cannabis drying shed and a plant cutting facility, said police spokesman Anton de Ronde.

The canna-chopper is fitted with apparatus that takes air samples out of ventilator shafts and chimneys. A dedicated gas analyser is able to recognise traces of weed smell in the air samples.

Designed and built by Dutch police engineers, the mini helicopter, which can stay airborne for a maximum of eight hours, is used to track down indoor cannabis plantations.

In an interview with De Volkskrant, Johan Warmerdam of the anti-marijuana plantation squad said cannabis plantation is a huge industry worth as much as EUR 2 billion where 80 percent of the marijuana is exported.

The helicopters are not breaking the law as samples can be taken without entering the building, stressed the police.

Police should be doing something more useful.. like eradicating poison ivy and poison ivy grow ops. Only scumbags grow that shit.

@cliffcox66 Everything alters your mind. Your brain collects new information non stop all the time, and meditation balances you out, and your brain chemicals.

This is going on in the Netherlands? Fuck, that sucks. I thought they had their shit together over there and realized the war on drugs was a waste of money since you can't legislate morality.  I guess not.

Amazing amount of criminals advocating violence. Who says marijuana is innocent. The users reveal their intentions. Same people who'd violate other laws too probably. What about getting high on life. Not needing something that alters the mind. Say meditation.
