Two Arrested in Marijuana Grow Crackdown - KIVITV.COM | Boise. News, Breaking News, Weather and Sports-
Two Arrested in Marijuana Grow Crackdown - KIVITV.COM Boise. News, Breaking News, Weather and Sports-
Shared via AddThis
Three men have been charged in connection with a series of big marijuana grows uncovered by police in both Idaho and Oregon.
Javier Silva-Rangel, Froilan Rubio-Gomez and Horacia Deavila-Cabrera have been charged with Conspiracy to Manufacture and Distribute 1,000 or more Marijuana Plants.
Rubio-Gomez and Deavila-Cabrera are now in federal custody. Silva-Rangel remains at large.
According to the Federal court documents obtained by Today's Channel 6 News, the arrests culminate a three-month investigation which involved search warrants being issued on three Canyon County homes. The homes are at 505 Constitution Way and 1712 Juniper Street in Nampa and 2707 Bristol Avenue in Caldwell. Officials raided the homes last week.
Police say they were conducting surveillance on a "number of subjects who are engaged in manufacturing marijuana on public land."
Court documents say, beginning about April of this year, detectives began contacting local sprinkler and irrigation supply companies in both Ada and Canyon County, after men were seen purchasing large quantities of plastic pipe, hand-operated values and water emitters. The men made all the purchases with cash. Similar vehicles were used.
The same day the homes were raided, authorities in Owyhee County seized about 4,000 marijuana plants in a remote region near South Mountain.
Also last week, authorities in Harney County, Oregon, discovered some 6,000 marijuana plants being illegally grown near the Alexander Mine drop off point. Police say they used GPS tracking devices to determine that the vehicles used to purchase the irrigation supplies were also seen in the vicinity of the marijuana grow. The GPS also showed the vehicles made stops at the Nampa and Caldwell houses that police later raided.
Recently, grow operations were discovered in Boise, Valley and Owyhee Counties. Authorities determined the street value of the drugs were into the millions of dollars. The operations were found on BLM and Forest Service land.
Although the suspects have only been linked to the marijuana grows in Owyhee and Harney Counties, authorities say more arrests could be announced later this week.

Spy Cameras Types and Definitions
Spy Cameras Definitions.
There are many choices for a spy camera, almost as many as reasons for using them. Spy Cameras are used for the covert observation of another person, place or thing without their knowledge. Many people use spy camera to keep an eye on their children while they are in the care of a nanny ( also called nanny cameras). The most common uses for a spy camera are for domestic situations and theft. Business owners find that sometimes it is better to have one hidden camera as well as a complete security system. Husbands and Wives may use them to check on a suspected cheating spouse. The types of Spy Cameras can cause some confusion. Here is a short list to help you decided which spy camera is for you.
Hidden Cameras: Hidden cameras are just that a camera that is hidden in an object so it can not be seen. The come in a few styles, Wired Hidden cameras this type needs a wire run to a recorder to record the video from the hidden camera, Wireless hidden cameras that send a wireless video signal back to a receiver , the receiver is then connected to a recording device.
Wireless Cameras: Wireless cameras are a camera and a transmitter that send a video signal back to a receiver that then can record the video. Wireless cameras come in several forms as well. They can be hidden (see above) or just a mini (small) camera with a transmitter. EVERY wireless camera needs power, power is supplied by a battery (batteries last approx 4 hours) or plug into the wall (the camera and transmitter run indefinitely) Wireless camera are best used in temporary situations only. They send a receive interference and cause problems with wireless routers, baby monitors, some two-way radios and more. Sometimes the cameras have static and sometimes there is no picture at all due to interference. A solid white or black horizontal line on a wireless picture means it is getting interference from an outside source. Static means the camera is to far away or that the signal is being blocked.
Mini Cameras: Mini Cameras are very small cameras that you can hide on your own. The average size is 3/4 X 3/4 and they need a very small hole 1/8 inch to see from The camera is usually mounted behind a flat surface like a picture or the face of a portable device like a clock radio or air purifier. Mini camera can be wireless or wired.
Board Cameras:
Board cameras are much like mini cameras (above) but they are board level. The circuit board is visible and therefore this type of spy camera must be handled carefully. Board cameras are for more advanced camera builders.
Self Contained Cameras: Self Contained Cameras are spy cameras hidden cameras and mini cameras all in one. Self contained cameras have a camera that is connected to a devices power and a built in DVR ( digital video recorder) the DVR uses some form of media to record video. Be it and SD card or internal flash memory. This is the preferred type of spy camera as it is self sufficient and in many cases you can just take a SD card out and play it on your PC. OR connect the device to your TV to view the recorded videos.
Hopefully this will help you in your choice of a spy camera. Please feel free to visit www.spyville.com for further information.

Bug Detectors
Return to spyville.com
Bug detectors are basically RF (radio frequency) finders. Bug detectors will respond to any wireless device within it range. This make searching for a bug difficult.
Lets first look at what ranges Bug detectors cover. Many detectors cover from 50MHz - 6.0GHz. This covers the normal frequencies that wireless devices use.
50 MHZ (megahertz) is the low end of the scale this is where you will find most voice transmitters. As you move up the scale to the GHZ (gigahertz) you get into the wireless camera frequencies.
MHz and GHz are just frequency denominators IE: 1000 MHZ is equal to 1 GHZ so a 2.4 GIG camera can also be considered to be a 2400 MHZ and a 5.8 GHZ can be a 5800 MHZ.
This is not to be confused with say a 10 meter radio that runs around 29.0 (lower than the range) or 27.0 (cb radio).
Between 50 and 6000 MHz are where most spy devices are located. The federal government uses between 406- 420 MHZ ( approx).
The process for locating bugs is simple but time consuming. You need to be aware of all the wireless devices you possess. This can include but is not limited to,
Baby monitors 900 - 1200 MHZ (many others)
Wireless Routers 802.11 -(close to 2.4 GHZ)
Cordless phones 5.8-6 GHZ
Some Cell Phones (approx) 900MHz
Wireless Keyboards and Mice
Wireless speakers
There are many other wireless devices that can set off a bug detector so everything that you know to be wireless needs to be turned off, so you can avoid false signals. Other things to keep in mind are that your neighbours may have wireless devices such as routers and cordless phones.
So to start the process turn off everything that you know is wireless. The simple conclusion here is that what ever else you find is a bug or a wireless camera but that is not always true. You need to take interference into account. There is RF every where and our bug detectors are sensitive enough to pick it up.
How do you know if you find a bug? Well if you cant use the sensitivity setting on a detector to tune out the alarm . Then you start looking for devices. Bug detectors will not just light up and point to the bug it is a process. If you get a reading from a solid wall go to the other side of that wall and make sure that ther are no other wireless devices.
Remember that who ever put the bug is had to have access for a certain amount of time, you must take into account wether they had time to open a wall and then repair it so well that you cant tell. Look for more obvious places like in or around cluttered areas or under furniture. that is a much more likely location.

How To Find Hidden Cameras
return to Spyville.com
Finding hidden cameras requires some patience and some basic tools.
1. First you are going to need to determine what the camera was placed for. Assume-ably the camera is installed to see a certain thing person or place.
2. Second this is to determine who would have placed it be it a land lord a family member or a stranger.
3. Third is to determine how much time the person would have had to hide the camera.
1. Why would someone place a hidden camera? Why do you think there is a hidden camera? Does someone know things they shouldn't? Is there any other way (no matter how remote the chance) that they would know? remember that people you are around all the time may had overheard parts of conversations and made some guesses about the information. If they mentioned it to you they may have been just trying to gauge your reaction. People hear things that may seem trivial to you at the time but after a few months some people can put a good guess together from just little bits of info. So if you are absolutely sure that someone has seen something that they could not have ascertained using the above reasoning you should move to step 2.
2. Now we need to determine who would have placed a hidden camera. You may have your suspicions but we need to narrow down the possible suspects.
Who would gain from having a hidden camera on you?
Who (covered in the above question) had the opportunity to set up a hidden camera?
Who (fitting the first two questions) is capable of hiding a camera?
Hidden camera technology has come along way since its inception but a hidden camera installer still needs some experience in electronics. For example there will need to be power for the camera as batteries would die in a few hours and the camera would be useless. Another thing is the ability to set up a way to view and / or record the video from the camera.
3.Once you have decided the what and who now we continue to where. A person installing a hidden camera will need a certain amount of time to install the camera depending on what they are trying to see. If they want to see you coming out of the house its a simple process to put a camera outside in the middle of the night so they would likely have plenty of time. But on the other hand if they want to see you in the house they will need to set a camera up inside. So back to our questions? Who in you narrowed down list has access to your house? Did you let someone have a key when you were on vacation? are you divorced and your spouse still has a key? Just think of how many people could ,in reality, get into your house easily (without breaking in) while you are away at work or shopping?
Now to the heart of finding hidden cameras. First what are they trying to see? You should have narrowed that down above. Cameras need a 1/8 hole to see out of and they do need power. Now before you look at you ceiling , could someone have easy access to the attic? Can you get up there? . Check just inside the doors and in the quickest locations for hidden cameras first. Like vents and small windows. Have you had to replace anything recently like a lamp or a clock. Was it you who put it up?
You can by process of elimination find out if an item has a camera in it. Just cover the item with a sheet for a few days. See if someone you know get agitated by this.
Switch clocks from room to room. Do they stay where you put them? You should do things that are out of the ordinary for you and see who mentions it. There are numerous types of hidden cameras.
It is best to remember the steps
Would the person be able to access the location?
Would they have the expertise?
What information are they trying to get?
Answer these questions and you will narrow down the suspects considerably.
