Google Earth smokes drug growers

  • Tweet this
Swiss police have scored something of a success after catching dope growers in the normally straight-laced country.

According to Associated Press the police were trying to locate a couple of farms in the north of the country that had been mentioned by a suspect. They used Google Earth and as they zoomed in found a two acre field of grass, and not the kind that feeds the cows.

The police now have the farmers in custody, along with over a ton of the drug. Not something you associate with the land of chocolate and banking but times are hard and I suppose people have to make a living.

Now Google has an unofficial mantra of not doing evil, but is there anything in there about harshing someone's buzz?
