Google Earth defeats pot barron

If you’re gonna be a Johnny Appleseed-type weed baron (Ed. – Allegedly), you may want to avoid carrying around a GPS unit holding the coordinates of all your crops. However, that made it easy for Wisconsin cops, who took the coordinates, plugged ’em into Google Earth to check the location, then went hunting for Mary Jane. Dean Brown, 37, of Racine, now faces up to 59 years in the clink for various drug charges. Wow, technology really does make life easier. Via The Register
