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."

  1. Question for you Dutch. by Anachragnome · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Do you REALLY believe this shit?

    The cops can locate grow-ops FAR easier by tracking electrical usage and using infrared detectors(the heat detected is outside the house, so no warrant needed).

    I think what you REALLY have is 1984 flying over your houses, and it ain't just looking for pot. It is CCTV flying around the place, nothing less. What ELSE might they be looking at?

    Is that REALLY what you want your cops doing with your taxes?

    Considering there is no human on board to generate a murder charge, that little fucker wouldn't last a minute over Los Angeles, but then again, we got guns.
