The above is quoted directly from an amendment of the FOIA, disallowing use of such information and making it unconstitutional to use any such gathered evidence against an individual.

Now, could the agency using the equipment to compile evidence turn it over to other authorities as a 'whistle blowing' tactic, yes. Is the government spending BILLIONS of dollars and man power hours going door to door to collect such evidence in a useless attempt to destroy every single cannabis plant in existence and simultaneously putting probably 2/3 of the populace in jail because of all illegal activities that may be going on in all our homes? I think not, but I could be wrong. I just hope our Freedom and personal privacy rights have not diminished to the point where door to door spying is seen as an acceptable practice.

This and the last post are all I will write on this subject, I have dismissed the paranoia and do not wish to :beatdeadhorse: myself. Peace all, keep posting and voting on my poll please.
Perfect awareness is not PARINOIA.. you hit it on the head with 'whistle blowing tactics', now the rest of your comments go to the fact, yes we are being spyed upon and to think anything else is not reasonable at all..and no the are not going to go house to house using FLIR...

I simply pointed out.. IT IS THERE FOR THEIR USING FOR WHAT EVER CLAIMS THEY MAKE..and they do make some outright B.S. claims.

They used it on a Wa. Patient whom had ONLY six little plants... I mean little. So just be AWARE.
