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.
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.
