But judging by the growth of cocaine use, the cameras have not had a great impact.
The video cameras are supposed keep an eye on the ammonia tanks and deter theft.
And ammonia is readily converted into ammonium carbonate, which is what illicit drug producers need to make “crack” a form of “free-base” cocaine. Farmers use ammonia as a fertilizer that is stored in large tanks on the property. Why would farmers be interested in these I wondered? A chat with a salesperson quickly brought on a forehead-slapping “aha” moment. To my surprise, there were also a number of booths selling video surveillance equipment. While walking around the exhibit hall at an agricultural conference a few years ago, when we could still travel, I perused the usual displays of farming equipment and industry booths promoting various pesticide and fertilizer formulations.
