Chinese company Da Jiang Innovations, the world’s largest maker of drones, has donated drones to 43 law enforcement agencies operating in 22 U.S. states to enforce social distancing rules.

Police in Elizabeth, N.J., for example, are using the drones to surveil residents in places where patrol cars can’t easily reach, such as spaces between buildings and back yards. Top articles 4/5 READ MORE America Can’t Face China Alone

“If these drones save one life, it is clearly worth the activity and the information that the drones are sending,” Elizabeth mayor Chris Bollwage told MSNBC.

In 2017, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned in a memo that DJI was “selectively targeting government and privately owned entities within these sectors to expand its ability to collect and exploit sensitive U.S. data.”

The Interior Department in 2019 grounded its entire fleet of DJI-manufactured drones, which had been used to surveil U.S. land, due to concerns that China was using the drones to gather data on critical U.S. infrastructure.

DJI has asserted that concerns about its drones are groundless.

US department of commerce headed by PDJT should have shut this down.

I guess the country is full of little Kims. Trump needs to scale back his COVID19 news conferences. Let these petty dictators at the state level take the heat for their policies.

Last year I heard about the home security cameras Americans were buying. The system tied into the home network and then the chinese were spying on our lives.

Yeah, what could go wrong with our law enforcement agencies using chinese donated equipment? What harm is there in using equipment provided by a nation obsessed with spying on America?

Are we seriously that stupid? Don't answer. It's a rhetorical question.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Do these mayors and police chiefs know that these drones send all the data to China?

[Bruiser 10]

Don’t forget the drone loads.

[faithhopecharity]

this is a terrible, horrid idea to spy on the American people who dare to try escaping from their Imprisonment

I now know why something made me keep my old Marlin Goose gun with the super long barrel.

I had one of those I bought in 1969 when I was at Fort Benning to hunt deer.

3” shells with #4’s should do the trick.

“If we can save one life, we can dispense with that pesky Fourth Amendment entirely.”

American leftists already are looking forward to dispensing with the US Constitution in January, 2021. RBG will say "I've been feeling a little under the weather since the inauguration of a Democrat. I'm considering resigning."

[subterfuge]

And exactly are they going to know if one life was “saved” from surveillance of the serfs?

EXACTLY! Our own marxists, maoists, stalinists, national socialists will see to it with the help of foreign enemies...like “Chinese gladiators”...working with silicon valley totalitarians.

They already dispensed with it on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 with the full cooperation of the GOP.

All the consternation since Nov. 2016 is the citizen’s attempts to restore it and them trying to stop us.

Wow. The Trojan Horse story in 2020.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The same way they “know” that a person died of COVID, not something else.
