Can anyone verify it’s the Sheriff flying all over West County today?
Chopper had no transponder on so suggests Law Enforcement.
What appeared to be a large camera mounted on front.
Flying treetop level.
Couldn’t get a good look at side of chopper to ID.
PGE/Line choppers already flew earlier this year so?
Kinda annoying and on a Holiday.
Heard the helicopter flying over earlier before noon today out here at Bridgehaven on the Russian River...

A helicopter circled repeatedly yesterday over Bohemian Hwy. in Camp Meeker. I have no info on it.

I was told it was PG&E flying over their lines to look for trouble spots, fire prevention effort.

My understanding,,,and my experience is - Henry 1 (now Henry 2?) comes up as private owner if it comes up at all. Regardless- low flying helicopters usually don't show at all on apps such as Flight Radar etc - they are simply too low.Quote:

Now... if you're worried about an unpermitted cannabis grow... your worry is not the sheriffs helicopter. It's the NCRWQCB (water board) - who are working with Humboltd and Sonoma Counties (and now I think Mendocino) using their reviews of satellite imagery to flag cannabis farms. And by many accounts- flagging *any* property with large greenhouses - including legitimate farms.
I live on Front street in Camp Meeker,&we have a sign at the end of the street that says there’s gonna be PG&E work closing our road ,possibly hwy 116,this Sunday.There were massive flyovers the week before last time they did this-I called my housemate ,told her to lock every door&window then call her big burly boyfriend to come stay with her-we thought it was a manhunt,(shades of our years living in west oakland🤣.)So,I think it’s related to the tree work around power lines.
Thanks,
Pretty sure it wasn't Henry 'X'.
Not worried about Grows; concerned about unannounced obtrusive overflights hovering over our vegetable garden, our house and our neighborhood. We're on well so don't think water board has business hovering about. tiny greenhouse too.
Anyone know what the large white box on front Right corner of Chopper is? rounded corners with a rod angled forward of box with blob on end of rod. Looks like a convex lens on bottom of box too. Camera/GPS combo unit? Large Format Camera?
OK, other captioned photos via Google say it's the PGE Chopper and these below do match what we saw.
Would be interesting to learn what kind of Data-Sharing or Selling PG&E does with State or Local Gov't?
