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."

    Drug law falls under the Interstate Commerce provision, IIUC. Even for local grow operations.

    Cue libertard whinging.

    oh and do you know what industry uses the most amount of ammonium nitrate? Hint it isn't demolitions. Heck with the right air mixture flour can be explosive. you know the stuff they make bread and cakes from.

    oh and I would hardly call a field of weed gardening, farming is far more accurate.

    what everyone who wants to legalise weed seem to forget in their weed induced stumblings is that it like alcohol affects everyone differently, and I don't want people driving drunk let alone so smoked out they forget which is the gas and which is the brake as they laugh and hit the car in front of them. Ever watch someone go chill man as they stumble across the floor while high on weed? now imagine someone driving that way. Alcohol should also be controlled tighter too, but controlling that is far harder than controlling weed.

    This is "breaking the law" too in america, am I right?

    To fucktwits like the GP, "don't break the fucking law" only applies to those laws that said fucktwits like.

    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).

    No, you worthless fuck, it applies to the fucking law. Shitheads like yourself are the ones who think and act like only the laws you like should apply.

    Now, stop being a lying hypocrite and go die in a fire.

    You should be free to get high on your own time as much as you want, just so long as you don't try to operate deadly machinery while doing it.

    You are flying high and your judgment and self-control are seriously impaired.

    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.

    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.
