Cops Use Google Earth To Bust Pot Farm

Cops using Google Earth were able to locate a big pot farm hidden in a corn field and bust the people growing it. You see, Google is useful for more than just searches, seeing sword fights and running over Bambi with the Google Street View car.

Swiss police said Thursday they stumbled across a large marijuana plantation while using Google Earth, the search engine company's satellite mapping software. Police said the find was part of a bigger investigation that led to the arrest of 16 people and seizure of 1.2 tons of marijuana as well as cash and valuables worth $780,000.
