Many police departments have had armored vehicles for decades. Even our

Police departments also have access to the same light arms assault

rifles the military uses, and the same sniper rifles.



It is just an indication that the cops have more money than they know

what to do with



I don't know much about the drones, but I'm sure police departments with

lots of wide open spaces could use some of the unarmed variety to help

in search and rescue.

Of course this could bring up some alarming 4th amendment issues.

My real fear with these drones is that they will just be loitering

over people's houses looking for amusing things the cops can laugh

about.

What would you do if there was a drone hovering 50 feet over the pool

were your teenaged daughters were playing?











Same as the x ray vans. There are over 500 vans in the US, controlled by

law enforcement and private orgs. A congressman trying to get a list of

who bought and is operating those vans was turned down by the

manufacturer. The congressman feels as I do that it's important for

Americans to know who and why is looking at them through what opaque

structure?


What do you think they'll see when they 'look at you'??
A stunted little wacko doing his best to avoid a haircut and a real job.
You should be more concerned that they might be developing mind reading capabilities.
