Will police set trap or only cut plants in Finland...?
Often I wonder how police goes about if they find a grow on public land in Finland.

I read about some gadget called Hunting Cam, a camera essentially, one thats been internally connected to a body heat sensor.
They ll even hook up to remote receivers like a pc up to 1.5 km away from the spot wile it takes pictures of warm blooded creatures passing by.
Day and night vision. Dirt cheap devices.

Sure, it d be great to hook up one at your spot for sake of figuring out if someone has been at the spot or not while you were away.

It would allow you to check for human and animal precence from your remote receiver without actually having to be present at the spot in case unwanted activity has token place.
my question is> when cops find your spot... will they use this piece of equipment in order to try to collect evidence against you and therefore NOT cut your plants untill you show up, or will they boldly cut them away the moment they find them and forget about you, the grower?
Please respond in english language. TY

I'm not sure, but I think there's a law about filming people in Finland. You need to tell with a sign or something that there's recording going on. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

There was in headlines sometime ago about someone finding a huge stash of marijuana in the woods. The person called the cops and they only told the finder to destroy the findings

So I doubt finnish cops run in forests or fields looking for your plants.

Haha, well said!

Unless they suspect you of being a dealer or with connections to organized crime, I highly doubt they'd go through all the trouble. Still a chance, if they are really bored and need to meet some quota, but as long as you are just growing a few plants you'll get just a fine anyways.

tnx for reply ganjamavn, Aivo,bigtop, this kind of anecdotes are usefull, provided there are plenty of storys like those.

Bitch is, my friend is on probation and the sheer quantity of his stash would most likely get him in prison for the next 1.5 years in case they can link it to him.

My wife sais you might be right about the filming law, but on the other hand police does wire phone lines too (as hes a first hand victim of) provided they have probable cause wich is easy to get once someone finds the plants.
The hunting cams are beeing advertised in our local hardware store junkmail, so maybe the whole thing shouldnt be legal at all in the first place.
I think, if hunters can do it, also cops can do it, or like you said aivo, everyone is just doing that of what they think they can easely get away with.

Still im looking out for some first hand experience or footage of cops that didnt run as smoothly as the ones letting the finder destroy the plants.

Yup, the last one i heard when some moral guardian found buds in the woods and called the cops, they told em to just get rid of the plants and forget about it. But a couple of summers ago i read and posted a link on IC too, about some 40 plants guerrilla farm that the cops stalked til the guy came to water the spot, and then busted him. I think it was the same case where the grower got off easier, cause his plants were low in THC

But really there are no rules or "by the book" thingy that they would follow, it's all in how big/how many plants there are in your garden, and/or depending on the mood of the cop. They might stalk, but most likely they would just kill the plants and go bust kids with tuned mopeds.

Welcome to Finland.

If you say stalking, do you mean fysically laying in embush surrounded by mosquitos, waiting for days (if not weeks) on end for the ground water to dry up or harvest to be near?

Ain t that be a hell of a job for only a paycheck?

But If that s true I ll recommend my friend to take his dogs with next time

They d be so happy finding mosquito blistered cops all over the place, they d be licking them to death. :P

Yea, i'm talking physically stalking the spot But don't worry, they have mosquito repellant and work in shifts..

But this the only time i've heard of said stalking, so if you'r buddy has a couple o plants in the woods, he doesn't have to worry about that.
The motion sensor/heat sensor cameras would be better for it too, imo, but if you wear a hat and big shades and deny ever being there in court, there's not much they can do, unless busted red handed.
This y i sport a big beard, emergency shave and i'll look like a totally different person.. And 10 years younger, too Worked with the only speeding ticket i once got from a traffic camera Shaved and saved me a couple o hundred.

And yea, i usually take a pair of binoculars and a notebook for bird watchers.. For the alibi.. A dog could work too, but i don't wanna get up in the morning and i hate to clean the damn doggy hair
Not to mention the barking.. Or the drooling...
