The thermal imaging cameras the drones use may be our only hope of finding him. On the ground, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz, a joint leader of the force tasked with finding Dorner, has confirmed—though not explicitly—and is quoted as saying "We are using all the tools at our disposal."

So, this is gonna establish the ROE for future drone usage against domestic “terrorists” and “right-wing extremists”? Precedent?

If they can’t find a 270 lb 6 foot tall black man on Big Bear I’m not very worried.

The end game is to kill him with drones and thus justify their use as domestic “peacekeepers”

and he torched his truck....right.

Has there been any pictures released of his torched truck, like the two vehicles that LAPD shot to hell and back?

Thermal imaging? That’s only going to work if he’s hiding alone somewhere. What if he’s sleeping on a park bench under some newspapers? More likely they are hoping to triangulate on a position using electronic intercepts (cell phone perhaps).

Anyway, the police have been accumulating their own ‘toys’ with dreams they might get to employ them on a case like this.
