Heli

Everyones heard about the helicopter cops. But do they really have the heat sensor sht? Or do they just look for trails/plants from the helicopter?

im pretty sure i saw my first pot buster the other day .. but he never circled back (thank you god) ... but im pretty sure they only use the heat sensors for the indoor heat radiation off lights and MAYBE huge plots like 50-100 closely grouped

Well, either way I haven't seen many helicopters around my place, only like rescue ones, so I shouldn't have to worry to much.

They use airplanes too.

They would have to be at a low altitude though, right?

yeah they fly almost as low as a copter.

with the choppers searching outdoor crops they use a dedicated "spotter" that usally has a good resume for spotting plants. they wont see small plots too easy .

the IR is usally used to seek excess amounts of heat from buildings, and homes

sposedly in my town thay have a plane that flys around and looks for meth labs with there heat thing but thats just what ive been told

I doubt a meth lab throws off that much heat, and the cooking process is nothing like having a dozen 1000watt hps bulbs going for 18 hours a day to Infared detection

about once a month an airplane swoops down at my house, gets very low for an airplane. Pisses me off they think they can do that.

Every single day theres LOW flying crop lookin planes that fly RIGHT over my plants at least 6-7 times a day...is that just a route for them or what? theres a small airport about 20 mins from house...But they get so damn low!! I feel like i could shoot a paintball at it and nail it perfectly! Freaks me out every single time and when im back there i just army crawl into the brush and thorns like a tweak! lol

you too? as long as they aren't circling around the area you shouldn't worry too much. it could also be an airplane flying school, but who knows. I think your in the same situation I'm in. I'm just glad I planted 1 plant per spot, alot more work but alot less paranoia.

been there lol sucks doing the army crall

Hell yea!! I came out scratched to shit! but hey its not first time...lol

I'm an engineer- I can tell you that most peices of equipment run off of a voltage discrepency. As for sensor equipment, I'd be surprised if anyone would be able to nail you with that. HOWEVER, if someone with a trained eye were to fly over your scene and you had a reasonable number of plants, you may be up shits creek. I wouldnt be afraid of a small grow in a small province wiht not much LEO, but i would be afraid of some facist fucking US pig/cop in rural alabama with 150 plants. anyways, best of luck hombre.


cheers

I was thinking I would be safe as long as I keep about 3 plants per spot......Ima have so many spots.

Yeah I kept mine spread out.. and away from my house. There was one of those choppers lurking about though.. all black flying very low circling all the farm land. Not cool

Saw some crazy shit today. Was looking over a wooded area near my house, urban area, and there was a dark blue copter with gold accents flying a little over the tree tops and did a little circle over an area where I saw 2 small plants growing a few weeks ago. Guess somebody lost their shit, kinda schetches me out to even walk by there again.

those that saw low-flying helis, what states are you all in?
