I'm sure they are looking at all large outdoor / indoor plot's ..... Drones can stay aloft for a long time as circuits never get tired

But I agree Denver is just the honey pot'

And do not think for a second the kick-backs are flowing upwards towards the political backers. But the fed's warned long ago about keeping secure borders was a must for legalization to continued green light. As Sessions made crystal clear warning about exports' three months ago -

Sessions: US prosecutors won’t take on small-time pot cases



WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors won’t take on small-time marijuana cases, despite the Justice Department’s decision to lift an Obama-era policy that discouraged U.S. authorities from cracking down on the pot trade in states where the drug is legal, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Saturday.
Federal law enforcement lacks the resources to take on “routine cases” and will continue to focus on drug gangs and larger conspiracies, Sessions said. The comments come after the Trump administration in January threw the burgeoning marijuana legalization movement into uncertainty by reversing the largely hands-off approach that prevailed during the Obama administration, saying federal prosecutors should instead handle marijuana cases however they see fit.
The Obama-era policy allowed the pot trade to flourish, with eight states legalizing marijuana for recreational use.
The reversal added to confusion about whether it’s OK to grow, buy or use marijuana in states where pot is legal, since long-standing federal law prohibits it. And it caused concern that prosecutors would feel empowered to jail individuals for marijuana possession.
“I am not going to tell Colorado or California or someone else that possession of marijuana is legal under United States law,” Sessions said, answering student questions after a speech at Georgetown’s law school. But, he added, federal prosecutors “haven’t been working small marijuana cases before, they are not going to be working them now.”

Of particular interest are problems that federal authorities have tried for years to tackle, like illegal marijuana-growing operations on national parklands and gangs that peddle pot along with more harmful drugs. Some law enforcement officials in pot-legal states argue the legal trade has caused unintended problems like black-market marijuana growing and dealing by people who don’t even try to conform to the legal framework.
It remains to be seen whether prosecutors will seek to punish state-sanctioned pot businesses. Some have indicated they have no plans to do so.
“Those are the kinds of things each one of those U.S. attorneys will decide how to handle,” Sessions said.

Twenty-four members of an elaborate marijuana syndicate face racketeering charges for allegedly transporting marijuana across the country from illegal grows in eight posh metro Denver houses, including one inside a gated Greenwood Village community. The offenders were charged earlier this month on an Arapahoe County District Court indictment that included charges of distributing illegally grown pot to Texas, Iowa, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, New York and Kansas. They are accused of racketeering, marijuana cultivation and distribution, money laundering, tax evasion and attempting to influence a public servant. Detectives nicknamed their drug operation “the apprentice” after a confidential informant who first learned the ropes of the illegal pot trade and later learned how to ensnare his drug mentors.

The informant was down on his luck when he began working for two long-time friends who founded and ran the illegal drug ring that had tentacles across the country. Greenwood Village police arrested him for allegedly selling pot on Craigslist. The informant then began working for police to expose his friends’ drug syndicate. The apprentice’s real name is not revealed in court documents filed by District Attorney George Brauchler’s office. The informant told his friends — identified only as co-conspirator 1 and co-conspirator 2 — that he was hurting for money. The two conspirators, who had started selling marijuana a year earlier, gave him a quarter-pound of pot and had him sell it online, court records say. The syndicate was selling 80 pounds of marijuana a week and in one year had sold more than $1 million in marijuana around the country, according to court records. The suspects allegedly grew the pot in high-end homes in Highlands Ranch, Centennial and Greenwood Village.

The informant would pick up the pot at an apartment within Copper Canyon apartments that was run like a licensed and legal pot store, although the operation was unlicensed and illegal. A man nicknamed “Shadow” ran the “stash house.” Shadow also worked for Scott Doida, who allegedly grew marijuana plants at 9638 E. Maplewood Circle, a home inside a gated community in Greenwood Village that is valued at $1 million.

74 indictments - ( family members, friends all combining home grows into export machine )

https://www.thedenverchannel.com/ne...colorado-history-2-former-broncos-victimized-

DENVER — The largest illegal pot ring since Colorado legalized marijuana has been dismantled, federal, state and local law enforcement officials said in a Wednesday announcement. The bust — dubbed operation Toker Poker — includes 62 individual people and 12 businesses, leading to 74 indictments. Those businesses and individuals were located in Colorado, and according to law enforcement officials, were laundering millions of dollars and creating an illicit pot empire across a host of states.

(The people charged and the crimes they are charged with can be seen toward the end of this story. Click here to read the indictment.)

Officials from the Drug Enforcement Agency said the investigation spanned 40 states and included up to thousands of law enforcement officers, but the Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman said the ring directly operated in and impacted Kansas, Texas, Nebraska, Ohio and Oklahoma, as well as Colorado. “We stand here today to send a message…we will not tolerate the illegal marijuana market in Colorado," DEA officials said.

The above examples are what's being hunted ......

And if one thinks they are not using infrared technology then just leaving this information out of supply chain of information just because it's illegal, that would also be a bad assumption moving forwards....

The cops in Utah, Ohio, K.C., just getting " lucky " when pulling over car heading east ? Laughable

Perhaps the new plan for much decreased availability of some of these drugs which primarily go to people who are suffering immense pain, calls for replacing these drugs with a "free" rubber hose to bite down on until a stroke or massive coronary takes us out completely.

Trump is all bark and no bite. Death penalties for drug dealers? Get real, this isn't the Philippines. I haven't been keeping up lately, but its obvious he hates Sessions. Last week he referred to him as "Mr. Magoo" lol

more sound and fury?
no friends of cannabis in that white house
and just how imaginative might some prosecutors be to constructively make big cases out of small?
they're pushing back against the tide of history, but likely to hurt some more people in their learning
lame fucks

Who thinks Hillary would have cut corp tax 18% or stopped exodus of jobs / globalization that has kneecapped the middle class ....?

Obama, Wild Bill could have helped the middle class ..... but the truth is, they did not as black unemployment skyrocketed under his watch. As jobs come back into usa, at least those people exiting college might have better opportunity and min. wage is spiking upwards. Target will have $15 dollar min wage within 12 months with benefits...

Trump has many faults like many people, but at the end of the day .... going into election night Hillary had 10% lead. The voters came out of woodwork and kneecapped the Clintons in real-time...

Funny how media pushes Trump on Russia but ignores the Clintons slush fund taking cash for votes from anti - women dictators in middle east, and millions from russia as they took over uranium one..... fake news ignoring real world corruption, she burned her server yet the liberal communist ignore these truths before us.

Well communist do not like private corporations ....

And that money was sitting off-shore like apples 150 plus billion, as they never payed tax anyways....

But now that money is coming into american banks exiting european banks and will get sunk into economy in the USA. Over 3 trillion in money is flowing back into usa. Look at Libor in europe, rates are rising quickly in europe. Europe is in deep trouble as companies like airbus sell planes in USdollars and take out loans in US dollars .... dollar denominated debt's

EU tariffs on USA auto = 10%, USA tariffs on european cars 2.5% ..... the trade war is gonna get ugly, fast just as dollar liquidity exiting eurozone

When it all comes down,
I hope it doesn't land on you.
When the truth is found,
I hope it will be true for you.

Some things never seem to change, others just get worse.
Green Squall said it is not the Philippines.
while aware of the new idiot there,
I could not help but think about long bygone activities there which were
also brought home and used to go after anyone
that happened to be unpopular at the moment.
