Google Caught On Private Property
nathan halverson writes "Google recently launched Street View coverage in Sonoma and Mendocino counties — big pot growing counties. And while they hardly covered the area's biggest city, Santa Rosa, they canvassed many of the rural areas known for growing pot. I found at least one instance where they drove well onto private property, past a gate and no trespassing sign, and took photographs. I didn't spend a whole lot of time looking, but someone is likely to find some pot plants captured on Street View. That could cause big problems for residents. Because while growing a substantial amount of pot is legal in Mendocino and Sonoma County under state law, it's highly illegal under federal law and would be grounds for a federal raid."
Yeah, they're not making drugs. They're just gardening. That goes for heroin too. And making crack is just baking. And mining for plutonium is just digging and we can't outlaw that because it's totally natural.
I'm pretty sure loss of productivity from the mass numbers of people who would start using marijuana if the government was implicitly endorsing it would outweigh any loss of productivity from pot growers and sellers being imprisoned (hint: pot growers and sellers aren't usually productive members of society anyway).
Let's ban cats.
People who have no sig are cool
Then why the fuck didn't you fucking mention something about the trespassing you fucktwit?
Just callin' it like I see it.
Why should I? I don't know for certain that they trespassed. For all I know, they actually obtained permission, and the pothead forgot about it, as potheads are apt to do.
There is no "-1 offended" or "-1 you don't agree with me" mod options for a reason.
Nice to see the true colors of your liberal beliefs. The politics of hate and murder. I bet you are one of the assholes who think it is ok to "wander" or even break into someone else's computer because it isn't locked down against every conceivable threat.
Oh, and you do understand that no one entered anyone's house, don't you, shithead?
You are a pathetic, little pussy who probably can't even lift a shotgun, let alone fire it accurately. Now, go back to your drug and you kiddie porn, you pathetic dog fucker.
