I just came up with an idea to make drug lab searching easier. We could train some animal, that is used to environment, where narcolabs are usually build, then wire it with gps tracker and camera and let it free to roam and search for the labs. Dogs, cats, pigs are trained already, but not with such
scale, so why cant we make drug lab searching easier like that?

How to spot a meth lab...

Would this be for searching out labs in other countries?
Because we already have an excellent domestically born-
and-bred animal used for this purpose here at home: the
stool-pigeon. |
|
| |
Misread as Weird animals to hunt narcotics labs. "We're close to the perp's source lab, men. Cry havoc and let loose the aye-ayes, platypi, chinchillas, and mole salamanders!" |
|
| |
[Rayford] Aye-Aye-Aye!! That is one strange animal!! |
|
| |
Your flippant idea is in danger of ruining a perfectly good illegitimate industry and send it up in smoke. I urge you to stop to consider how many will be out of work because of your rash suggestion. |

//From the outside, it looks like a normal house or
hunting lodge// |
|
| |
Around here, a meth lab looks like a normal abandoned
trailer home or tarpaper shack with a stolen generator
belching smoke around back. The well-kempt and cheerful
family-style homes equipped with 3-phase power are
mostly indoor pot-growing operations. They must have a
better class of tweaker in [21]'s neck of the woods. |
|
| |
maybe your pot-growers could give ours some tips: ones up here are rarely well kempt. |
|
| |
The best way to not attract attention is to not attract
attention. Nobody thinks twice when they see a well-
groomed home. It's pretty simple. |
|
| |
Then again, marijuana is Maine's No. 3 cash crop (behind
potatos and blueberries), so commercial growers here may
be a bit more well-heeled. |
|
| |
This might be better for finding the product in a
smuggling situation, rather than the labs
themselves. |
|
| |
In Canada our hydro tips off the people that are
suspiciously consumptive. Police then use
helicopters with thermal imaging to tell if all of the
heat is coming from one one section of the house,
which might indicate a lab. The use of hydro
companies as tipsters is very effective unless the
lab is small, or the
person supplements their power use though
generators or whatever. |
|
| |
It works that way here, too, but all the authorities in Maine
have a serious hard-on for busting meth rings, so the
careful growers don't have much to fear. Oh, and here the
police or DEA have to subpeona the power usage records. |

Fragmentation grenades, it would seem. |
|

In Noo Zeeland (spelt the American way) there is the "Legalize Cannabis" political party. I am all for voting them into power and sending the country to pot. My son along with friends visited a coffee house in Amsterdam, in their ignorance, actually asked for coffees. The waiter went into a flat spin and almost choked. |

The happiest day of my life was the day I was issued two frags (circa 2004). The saddest day was when I had to turn them back in (circa 2005). |
|
| |
Me also thinks not, Meth,ink.snot. I was referring to the original "Legalize Cannabis Party." If Brash means what he says, He can have my party vote. |

I'd like to update my idea for some people-animals should be trained to search (e.g. sniff) for drugs and, if they find something, maybe they could be trained to do some specific behavior to trigger the alarm on monitors' computers. I would like to stress another main thing-they should be wanderers-go free across the landscape, seeking for smells of drug labs. Also, one more possibility-a sniffing machine attached to the animal, that, when feeling drug- or lab-specific smell, would start alarming. Main point- a man would never walk, run, fly as much as animals do. |

Baked and cooled, my friend. |

I assumed you were giving drugs to animals; I pictured a grizzly wandering around going "I'm so wired! Where can I get some meth to take the edge of the come-down?" |
