Now isn't this interesting? Does Mike Lawlor have an air force?

Money quote from the piece, "… (It’s) very, very concerning to law enforcement because it could give the bad guys an upper hand,”

Interpreted: Citizens will have the ability to watch closely what we do. We can't have that!!!

So in other words, big brother says, "technology for me, but not for thee"....b/c you could use it against them.

Seems odd that the mainstream American can't grasp the concept that if the government has it, so should we.

What a bunch of trusting sheep.

They call it a drone, then say they questioned the person controlling it at the scene. Not exactly autonomous if the owner is standing there operating it. What this really is: police angry that they're being recorded by a kid with a remote control helicopter and a camera, and the FAA's desire to control everything not bolted to the ground.

Speaking of crash scenes:

One has to sympathize with the female cop. As she stated, the guy appeared to be dead, so there really was no one to berate, beat, tase, or shoot.

Here's to you Pinecrest Officer Ana Carrasco - you are part of the elite thin blue line, and one of America's finest.

Lot of drones available now. Several weeks ago I went with a friend to a local electronics store for a hard drive stack. They had 3 different drone and control sets available, along with many accessories to add on to them. One had an application to run it off a cell phone. I think they are going to become more popular, and intrusive.
