Using FLIR for drug growing detection requires a warrant.
- jessaustin 11y agoSo they're using it for some other purpose. It's just a coincidence that all growers on the flight path have been busted via "anonymous tips".
- pavel_lishin 11y agoI assume that the 'coincidence' you mention is just hypothetical, but that would be a pretty interesting topic to research.

- bigiain 11y agoInterestingly, I immediately considered the use of FLiR looking for their modified exhaust systems - I wonder whether the current inexpensive Lepton FLiR modules could "see" the difference between "normal" plane and these ones with (presumably quite large/hot) underslung mufflers?
- afarrell 11y agoIt requires a warrant as long as FLIR is "a device that is not in general public use"[1] That is changing. [1] http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/533/27.html http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/533/27.html
- DINKDINK 11y agoI heard from someone who worked for government contracts that they were told to 'do production testing on equipment' at the same time they wanted to use it in situations that would have required a warrant.
