Is it true...

that police choppers sometimes use infrared/heat cameras to find grow rooms inside houses?

 

One of my mates told me when I was telling him about (very) initial plans to maybe start building a grow room, or a small greenhouse or something (which I figure would be safer), and as illegal as it may seem to search a house based on heat measurements (the legality of which due to warrant-less invasion of privacy is also dubious), my mate was very adamant.

 

Anyone else heard/read about this?

 

Care to credit/discredit it?

Yeah, but those articles only mention cannabis grown outdoors, especially on public land where no-ones rights have been denied. They don't mention infrared being used on homes, and that's what I asked.

Heh, link goes to the forum index. Either a mistake was made, or you're being facetious. Edited October 7, 2009 by FalseID

They have the technology, capability and budget so the simple answer is yes.

 

I would not be worried unless you had a commercial operation producing an extreme amount of heat/exhaust.
