Here in TN "they" have had aerial detection of marijuana for all the years I 
have lived here.  Last month  one of the helicopters flew around my corner of 
the county for over an hour!  Nothing more annoying than one flying low!  
Wonder if the new ones are silent?

  " In a scene that could have been inspired by the movie "Minority Report," 
one North Carolina county is using a UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicle) equipped 
with low-light and infrared cameras to keep watch on its citizens. The 
aircraft has been dispatched to monitor gatherings of motorcycle riders at 
the Gaston County fairgrounds from just a few hundred feet in the air--close 
enough to identify faces--and many more uses, such as the aerial detection of 
marijuana fields, are planned. "
