Only if you are already under investigation and they are trying to gather more evidence. From a plane heat scan a pot grow wouldn't look any different than a jacuzzi. They don't go fishing for hot spots.

yea, if they have a reason to they might. They would like you to believe that they do it a lot more than they actually do, but the costs of flying a plane around with thermal imaging equipment isn't practical for 90% of states.

If you live in the states they need a search warrant to scan your house with FLIR. US Supreme court ruled Forward Looking Infra-Red was an invasion of privacy. Canada its free reign, england FLIR is allowed without warrant, Australia requires search warrants to use FLIR.
