"No different than the Forest Service and Park Service having a fit over letting Border Patrol into their areas that are on the border"

The FS doesn't seem to have an effective policy/enforcement of folks growin' non-trees in the NF.

I wouldn’t go hiking through a lot of forest service land in California without a gun, and I would have a preplanned egress strategy with members of my group if we stumbled on a grow. It is only a matter of time before some boy scout troop gets attacked by Mexicans in the National Forest.

That does raise an interesting question for this group.

If you had an infrared line scanner that you could put on a high altitude UAV. Would anybody here have an issue with using that in the state and national forests to find marijuana grows?

That kind of data is definitely inadmissible if used on a search of private property.
