- lettergram 3y agoThey’ve been doing that via plane since at least the 70s. There’s a local commune by me that has a “ragweed festival” where a pilot mistook ragweed for pot and raided their compound. They sued the state, got some money and now put on an annual festival in light of the plants they did find on the property haha

- lettergram 3y agoI guess to be clear, the local sharifs, swat, and other agencies came. I was told it was ~200-300 police who came heavily armed. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/2014/07/01/the-farm-summertown-timeline/11936383/ https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/2014/07/01/the-f...

- dylan604 3y agoUrban legend (and an article in the Austin American-Statesman) says that the nearby army base in Killeen would train helicopter pilots by using the known (to them) grow houses in the Austin area because they were easily visible in their IR cameras. I'm guessing the use of LEDs has stopped that though.
- heavenlyblue 3y agoLike the only IR emitter in the whole of the city is a few grow houses. A single car emits vastly more IR purely based on how much hotter it is.
- dylan604 3y agoYou think someone training in military equipment can’t discern between a car and a house? Like totally reaching to make a point but fell on your face.
- heavenlyblue 3y agoAnd why would they train on houses when they can train on a moving car?
- dylan604 3y agoare you intentionally being obtuse?
