Computerized WVU Maps to Help Police Detect Marijuana
MORGANTOWN (AP) - Geographers at West Virginia University are working on a computerized mapping tool to help police predict where marijuana is grown in the state. Applying marijuana data to a geographic information system, researchers Trevor Harris and Briane Turley expect to spot which areas are most favorable for growing the plant.

''What we do is start with marijuana eradication information from local and state police,'' Turley said. ''We then add other data, such as the locations of roads and paths and access to water. We also know that marijuana is normally found at certain altitudes, so we take that into consideration as well.'' Harris says the technology should complement conventional law enforcement efforts. ''It's not perfect,'' he said. ''It can never replace the gut and intuition of a good investigating officer. But when you combine the two, you have a real advantage.'' The system will create layered, color-coded maps indicating which locations might be attractive to marijuana growers.

''Law enforcement can look at it and say, 'We don't want to focus on a place with a 20-percent probability. We want to look at this area that has an 80-percent probability,''' Turley said.

The first working model should be finished by the end of the year, Turley said. West Virginia University is part of a federal consortium sponsored by the National Guard Counterdrug Program.

its in place now
that was last year.

and they use it to target areas for the CHOPPERS to come and fly over back and forth and mark out ever crop and ERADICATE it(kill it)
thats what they spending

That is a perfect example of wasting tax dollars. You really think if it was going to work? Marijuana is smarter than that bullshit. Figure out the system and grow in the worst spots. Cops are to stupid to use much common sense. They cant even make the war on drugs have any impact on drug usage.

[dylan]

what will they think of next ? i shure hope that West Virginia keeps that s**t to themselves.

[kuri]

just think if they spent their resources to protect our borders and not border out pot.

[IthoughtIknewitall]

If they rely on that 80% shit weed growing will get a whole lot easier.

[SomeGuy]

yeah that might be more useful to us, because it says where they are least likely to look...
