I remember seeing a (dead tree) newspaper article a few years ago about the police using sat images to detect potential cannabis plantages by the heat radiating from the building.
Sorry, can't seem to find it on the net after a quick DDG
- kritiko 5y agoI think they were using plain old thermal imaging cameras (not satellites). However, Kyllo v United States now requires a warrant for that.
- t0mas88 5y agoThermal imaging is easy from a helicopter or survey aircraft, that's enough to find likely locations for plantages.
- jjeaff 5y agoYes, that would make sense because lots of grow lights can cause significant heat. I don't think heat technology could see individual people through a roof though.
