Police Use Of Drones In U.S.
Law enforcement in the United States has quietly started using aerial drones in a domestic capacity! The Department of Defense claims that the drone technology has revolutionized warfare in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and throughout the middle east. And it is slowly taking over our national airspace. The FAA expects new laws that will allow cops across the nation to regularly use drones. One maker is already advertising one of its drones as an ideal tool for “urban monitoring.” It is only a matter of time before these drones make their way over here to the states. It will start slowly but eventually the government will make it easier for police stations across the country to buy their drones from the government’s favorite dealers. It’s not if these drones will be abused by law enforcement, it’s when. You won't even have to be suspected of committing a crime to be a target for
surveillance. Now your public behavior is going to be constantly put under the drones’ microscopes and if you don’t exhibit the proper behavior, you will be dealt with accordingly. When the drones come home to roost in American communities they will certainly spark new debates about the boundaries of privacy. The power of some of the cameras that can be attached to them is likely to generate fresh search-and seizure cases for the courts, and the worries about the technology’s impending misuse will anger the public.
