Hidden Camera's in campgrounds

About that time a helicopter burst over the corn field and was so low, I thought he was going to hit my car. And he was just circling the field. Kind of freeky."

We get flyby's over our land a few times a year that I notice. Low and slow small planes. I assume it's the county sheriff looking for dope. It doesn't bother me at all. I don't think a camera would in a cg would bother me that much.

What does bother me is the proliferation of federal agencies running their own law enforcement operations with their own SWAT teams armed with real automatic weapons. the Dept of Education has a SWAT team! NF rangers should be limited to minor policing of the forest. Like catching speeders or people who litter. Anything major should require them to bring in real cops: FBI or DEA. And trying to catch dopers is major in my mind.

That is the same thing I experienced when I stayed in Florida. Their drug choppers are up all the time. I stayed one winter with my MH at my friends house to help them with their horses while one of them had surgery.

There place was just on the outskirts of the town. I was on my way walking to a small hay shed when I heard the choppers. I looked up and here was a swat team hanging off the skids with a huge machine gun pointed right at me! :E Talk about feeling like a deer in the headlights. I really thought they were going to shoot.

Found out later they had busted a drug house somewhere and one guy escaped and ran into the woods sooooo when they saw my body going into a shed they were locked and loaded. Scariest thing I've ever experienced. :(

My friends say it happens a lot down here because no matter what type of crime the drug choppers go right up.

Here in Florida when they do a traffic stop and it turns out to be a criminal of some sorts the driver 'always' gets out and runs and the choppers go right up. Try that in Chicago and you'd be shot dead as you were running away from the car, no need for choppers! :W
