Police in the northeastern Achterhoek region have begun using an unmanned miniature helicopter to track down the illegal cultivation of cannabis, which often takes place indoors. The so-called "canna-chopper" is fitted with cameras and a sniffer to take air samples out of ventilator shafts and chimneys. A dedicated gas analyser is able to recognise traces of weed smell in the air samples.

I wonder how safe these choppers are in general. I'd also like to know how much they cost and how many they've built.

i think these drones are useless near any coffeeshop or weed soming area.
Besides, most of the weed is grown literally underground :lol:
