Drug-Sniffing Drones Take To the Skies In the Netherlands

Posted by samzenpus on from the are-you-sarah-connor's-stash dept.

Ryan writes "Unmanned, drug-sniffing drones have been introduced in the Netherlands. They fly over houses (video), sniff for weed, and scan for grow lights. Police say they are not breaking the law because the samples can be taken without entering the building."

      sounds like you got a good deal, or youre one of those rare high assholes. I probably spent 300 euros over there over the course of 5 days, I dunno what damage I caused. Some local hoodlums tried to steal our bikes though. And the da vinci museum is terrifying, the chilling park outside it is awesome though.

    You're just another one of them dangerous folk trying to stir trouble, for shame! The government has a genuine interest in our safety, I wish we had drug robots in Glorious America to protect us from the degenerate substance abusers that have so plagued our great society.

    1) block frequencies
    2) wait for it to crash into wall
    3) steal scraps
    4)     get beaten up by cops who are pissed off you wrecked their toy, while you are filming covertly
    5) profit

    There. Finished that for you.
