Dutch Police hunt Cannabis Hemp growers with Canna Chopper
The Canna Chopper is the latest addition of the Dutch police crime-fighting arsenal. It is a special mini helicopter in order to detect illegal Cannabis Hemp growers. This happened in the area of “De Achterhoek”. The so-called “Canna chopper” is equipped with odor and video detection which can trace hemp fields from the air.
Also Cannabis factories are not safe. The unmanned aircraft can stay in the air for several few hours. The Task Force for Organized hemp growers hopes that with the use of cannabis chopper they can combat illegal cannabis crop growers more effectively.
The Police uncovered a cannabis factory during the first test flight of the mini-helicopter. In the outskirts of Doetinchem, they discovered cannabis farm. Seven suspects were arrested and several kilos of hemp were intercepted.
The cultivation of Cannabis Hemp is big business in the Netherlands, with profits estimated to have reached over €2 billion in 2008 alone. Only around 10 percent of the crops are sold legally in the country’s many coffee shops, according to the Dutch police. The vast majority of it is smuggled abroad.

Nice, I'd have no problem blasting an unmanned helecopter out of the air either.

Nice non-sequitur. They'd be safe if you legalised it and regulated it you goofy Nederlanders. But, hey, let's all keep sucking the US' dick as far as drug policy goes. Sovereignty? What's that?

Not fuckin america lame ass drug policies.
Sorry, i'm drunk and wasted and meh.
Who do you think directly influences (if not outright dictates) the EU's drug policy and has done so for the majority of the 20th century?

2008: People grow outdoors 2009: Canna choppers take to the skies. 2010: Outdoor growers arm themselves with automated anti-chopper weapons. 2011: tourist helicopter accidentally gets shot down by automated anti-chopper weapons. Media reports that outdoor growers are violent thugs who target civilians.
I wonder what the straw that breaks the camel's back will be, and people take to the streets...

Wow, this is just stupid. Why not spend this money and time going after real criminals, instead of victimizing a group of people because they're different from you?

Simple, drug users/growers tend to be non-violent and its a felony crime. Its like a rose w/o thorns, or a pb&j w/o the crust. Not to mention when the grower runs, the evidence doesn't move.
