Swiss Ganja Farmer Caught Using Google Earth

This is not a science fiction novel, it’s for real. The big brother (not the tv-series) is watching you little weed farmers, herbalists & horticulturists, so beware. I’m not sure how often the Google’s satellite images are updated in different areas, but I guess Switzerland must be quite an important target for surveillance. Maybe someone had an interest in the secret manufacturing processes of the famous stinky cheeses and accidentally found this little ganja farmer’s secrect spot.

p.s. the guys in the image above have nothing to do with this case, I hope.

Helsinki Vice corrupted

The Ministry of Interior has finished its report into the conduct of Helsinki narcotics police. The Ministry suspects narcotics police of wrongdoing in the course of their investigations. They have found 7 people who may have turned a blind eye to the crimes of their informants in order to get information from them. Even the captain of the narc-unit is one of the suspects.

If this is the case, it's typical behauvior of cops that we see on tv. Too bad that the finnish juridical system doesn't approve this kind of actions here, this aint NYC.

But there might be more to it... You know what happens when you deal with drug lords, we've all seen Miami Vice: easy money attracts weak minds. Maybe there are some cops buying speed boats on a basic cop's salary.

What makes me lose faith in the great police force is that after this was announceced two-thirds of Helsinki's narcotics investigators called in sick at the end of the week in what is believed to be a protest action.

So, when the going gets tough, the tough stay home and whine. Is this how the law enforcement institution likes to see itself?
