Holy Fucking Shit: Aerial drones to hunt pot growers.
The federal government plans to escalate its eradication of marijuana plantations in the backwoods of national forests this year, beginning in California with the deployment of larger strike teams and the controversial launching of miniature, remote-controlled spy planes to outfox growers, a top Bush administration official said Thursday.The SkySeer runs quietly and its tiny video camera can resolve whether a person is armed with a handgun from 250 feet in the air – high enough for the 4-foot-long craft to become invisible from the ground, according to its inventor, Sam De La Torres.
Detained: Red tape keeps prisoners with reduced sentences in jail.
Distracted: Cops too busy busting drugs to stop gangs.
Rejected: California kills bill to drug test welfare recipients.
Arrested: Mom allegedly gives meth to her kid.

Fairview Fanny: On drugs.
Rick Steves: Remains awesome.
Bobby Brown: Blames Whitney.
Los Angeles: Supports medical pot dispensaries.
Viet Nam: Considers shorter terms.
The Official Word: Drugs killed Tasered man.
Wacky Tobacky: Tom Cruise may sue over namesake weed.
THE BOTS ARE COMING
can you imagine what a shitty fucking place the world is going to be in 100 years?
That looks like something straight out of Star Wars. It's a short leap from using this technology to rout "bad guys" to using it to see what's happening on your private property. And all of you who say, "but I'm not a bad guy, they won't come after me" wake up and smell the f*cking coffee we're quickly losing control over what the government is allowed to define as "bad."
Nope. But George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and a host of others sure did. No matter, I'll be dead in another 25-30 years and then it's somebody else's problem.
You know, the version of the future that I hate is the movie Demolition Man. "In the future all restaurants are Taco Bell." Aaarghh, help me. And I'm never using a weird shell like thing to wipe my butt--you'll have to pry the toilet paper out of my cold dead hands.
@2,
If you're talking about the pic that Dominic posted, that is a drone from Star Wars. The actual drone, pictured in the article, is significantly less impressive.
@5 oops! that's what I get for not following the link. I knew it looked like something from Star Wars!
@2
While there may be private property issues, I'm all for using it to patrol the forests. The hell with pot growers, meth labs, etc. ruining the national forests. I say bust 'em all.
Don't do drugs, and you won't have to worry about any of this.
Why anyone wants to be a druggie is beyond me.
Don't be a jackass, and you won't have to worry about any of this.
Why anyone wants to be a jackass is beyond me.
Typical druggie response.
"I have a right to be a druggie!!!"
Answer: Nope, you don't.
Get a real job and start contributing to society.

You don't have a "right" to do drugs.
Grow up and get real jobs.
Shorter ecce hobo @ 12:
I'm unemployed because I'm too stupid and lazy to hold down a real job. I want to do drugs but I'm such a simpering waste that even drug dealers will have nothing to do with me. I'm so jealous of the cool kids. They didn't even notice me enough to torment me in school. And that's why I still have the maturity of an adolescent boy.
At least you had the courage to not be a sock puppet this time Kesh.
Chickenshit...
@14,
I've never been a sock puppet. Everyone here hates your worthless ass. It stands to reason that many other people have reason to run you out of town.
