Swiss police spy marijuana field with Google Earth

[Rizzo]

Haha I found this while looking at the teen poses as a cop article.

The plantation, measuring almost two acres (7,500 square meters), was hidden inside a field of corn. But officers using Google Earth to locate the address of two farmers suspected of involvement in the drug operation quickly spotted the illegal crop.

Can you imagine when weed is legalised and growers have to pay Google to censor out their crops?

Yeah, me neither.

Does Google update Google Earth? I haven't used it in so long, I don't remember.

they only update places that need updating reguarlarly or can update regularly. except the Aral Sea, which has shrunk back another couple km since they last took a photo.
