Many local officials and authorities in small municipalities in Cali are on the take from the Cartels. It's like the days of Al Capone and bootleg liquor, the original scar face had many politicians and law enforcement on the payroll, in the days of alcohol prohibition. Of course if someone did not cooperate with the Outfit, they were beaten or killed, the same occurs today will illegal cannabis operations.

It took the Federal and State government resources to overcome the local level of corruption back in the bootleg booze days. So it will be for the same for today's illegal cannabis market. Federal and State authorities realize how much tax money can be raked in, so there is finally an incentive to shut down illegal cannabis operations and prosecute those criminals.

Interesting to see that China and Russian mobs are now competing with South American Cartels. The FBI and State Police are the only effective means to curb the illegal Cali cannabis market, its the only way the legal weed business will survive. Drone surveillance is an inexpensive way to gather intel on these illegal grow sites, much less obvious then helicopters and planes.

The days of the mom & pop pot farms are over, they have been pushed out by organized crime. It's high time that the Feds gave this crime the same attention that was given to the New York and Chicago mobs back in 80's & 90's.
