“The Malheur County, Oregon Sheriff’s Department casually announced that it had found several small marijuana gardens during a two-week aerial surveillance operation conducted with the help of the National Guard. At this point an actual journalist would have asked Wolfe why his office was conducting warrantless aerial searches of private property without probable cause. After all, the Sheriff has admitted that none of the property owners was a criminal suspect. Sheriff Wolfe insists this is necessary to ‘protect the public,’ which is more acutely threatened by the unconstitutional, paramilitary operations of his own department.”
