KS, How did they spot the illegal growth? Do you know that it was from helicopters? I have used the imaging at the University that would easily spot over 100 plants, esp with remote sensors (we routinely ID orchard plants in HPP.... anything over a meter can be looked at, 3-10 meters is getting fairly easy to do - without the annoying helicopter! Most people with internet can get that imaging, and when you add some of the other remote sensing detector images.... you can "see" illegal plants fairly well... they do breathe THC fairly well...
How do you think that the helicopter choose where to go? If you just look at today, they were in upper HPP & harvesting in upper HA.... OBVIOUSLY they knew pretty much where they were going... they were not out for a lookabout trying to find the growers, they KNEW where they were going... Esp. in HPP, the area COULD be covered by agents on the ground (as the arrest with warrant that you have mentioned was)
