The article stated that officers were operating the drone to the site. It may have been a computer devised flight plan, it was under human guidance and oversight.Big Brother is watching.
Now I, as a general rule, am a law abiding citizen. I however, feel uneasy with eyes overhead that can be used against us in a court of law. I am prior LE, both Military and Civilian. Emergency response is one thing, but where does that stop. Many states disallow the use of drones for police surveillance. I agree with this. The problem is: where do you draw the line. Also, these drones are flying over people on a computer devised flight path while enroute. These drones will undoubtedly aid in capturing criminals, but to what end? After all, in NY state, they just let criminals go without bail and often fail to prosecute. eeeehhh I better stop before I go too far.
