Police Chopper in Lafayette Park Now!

There's been a police helicopter with the spotlight around Lafayette Park and I don't know where else downtown for about the last hour. Hope they find who they are looking for. I doubt they are practicing at this hour. Anyone have a clue what's going on?

I am surprised to learn the the DPD still has a helicopter. I thought they got rid of them long ago. Is it really a police helicopter?

could be customs or DEA - DEA has taken to using aircraft based infra red heat detection to locate grow houses - the grow lamps give them away

Maybe a squirrel bit Bing and they're trying to find it.

They did sell them, michigan state police has a helicopter assigned to Detroit. Detroit PD and MSP operate it jointly.

I saw one around downtown this past Saturday around 11:00ish. They had the spotlight on the top of a few buildings.

a technique that i would expect has become far less useful since michigan became a medical state. DEA doesn't have patient lists. Or atleast they are arent supposed to.

There are police helicopters or a police helicopter south of us in the area south of Kelly/Moross on a pretty regular basis.

from an article a few days ago: "A judge in Grand Rapids has ordered the state of Michigan to turn over medical marijuana records on several patients in the Lansing area."

Congrats on your first post.

They're flying KK in for a conjugal visit with one of his former employees and girlllllfrends.

They were flying low over Belle Isle [[at the tree level) yesterday. A MSP chopper.

DEA doesn't need patient lists. Large grow houses are still illegal.

Right I was wondering why they were flying over Lafayette Park lastnite! I had my windows drapes open and they kept flashing it in my face while I was trying to sleep...had to close the drapes. smh...
