this was the info i was looking for. i know it takes a boatload of cash to run the erad. programs-- particularly with the cutting edge equipment, but i know that it is still done- however sparse. i don't think MA is a heavy producing state for growing, but i really don't know how to find out how much effort/cash is directed toward thwarting the efforts.

it's still so incredibly stupifying to think that growing a plant could be potentially felonious. mind blowing foolishness.
just google it.... marijuana eradication, your state, 2010.... if it's been done already, they've most likely bragged to the public about it in the media. ;)

there is no spectral imaging used by nasa to find pot pants in your back yard. the only way you get caught is if a DEA or state drug task force flys over in a helicopter and sees it with there eyes.

looks like your police are doing there's right now.... ....

NANTUCKET - On August 5, 2010 at 4:30 p.m. the Nantucket Police Department in conjunction with the Massachusetts Environmental Police conducted a Marijuana Eradication Program on Nantucket island.

Acting on intelligence gathered about illegal Marijuana grows on island a total of 107 plants were recovered in two separate areas. The Marijuana plants averaged from 5 to 6 feet tall.

When matured each plant would have produced about $1,000.00 worth of Marijuana. Also recovered was growing material and tools.

These grows were fairly sophisticated considering their location and the attention they were given.

Check your state laws and make sure stay under the plant limit for felony. I Googled it and the best I can find for Mass is 12 plants.

thanks gogrow. i've tried googling this info and to no avail as of yet. there's info out there, but it's not very specific to my area. i'm hoping to get some info from a "friend of a friend who is a state cop here. if i get any info, i will post it.

national guard would never do such a thing lmao. unless its a local national guard helping your local PD which in the case would be a "state of emergency" type of thing. i live in pennsylvania and yes they have local PD helicopters that check wooded areas for marijuana. they have a radar and they wouldnt necessarily check peoples backyard. for one. they need a warrant to "Search" your premises or they need logical reasoning and than get a warrant to search your property. they cant check your property by air ground or water unless its public property. if its your own house than you should be fine. dont worry about farfetched conclusions like that.

As far as the imaging goes, I know they used to use it, but it only works out in the woods, they look for the heat from the chemical fertz. But its no good in the suburbs because everyone uses some type of fertz. Not only that they are not allowed to low fly homes, the FAA sets altitude guidelines to keep people safe. But I can't help feeling the same way you do, and science they have started to flower, shit sometimes I really don't even want to visit my plants.:peace:

Police helicopters use IR when doing flyovers. Marijuana sends back a particular IR response, that is similar to pine trees, which sticks out when they do sweeps over forests.

As far as I've found, it has little to do with viewing ferts in plants, and more so in looking for marijuana's fairly unique IR response.

I would think they would keep these kind of flyovers over more rural parts, excluding suburbs and peoples backyards.

Id be more worried about somone smellin em or some punks stealin em, i think that helicopter shit is BS. they might see it if you got a feild but if there well concealed like you said then you should be alright. Just be safe about it. Ive seen people with plants in there back yards and never had a problem
