What ever happened to Posse Comitatus?
Just WOW...
Very scary stuff...
Keeping ‘you’ safe will trump anything written on parchment.
They’re just covering all their bases.
Since they are unmanned, there should be no restriction against zapping them with lasers...........
Maybe they can spot some of the huge gangs of feral animals that attack aged white people.
When they passed seat belt laws they said they would never pull you over just for a seat belt violation. they would only charge you an extra $25.00 for not wearing your seat belt if they pulled you over for something else. Cooking the frog slowly so he doesn’t jump out of the pan is SOP now.
What could go wrong here?
Yeah. Even as paranoid as I am, I can’t see any way they can train without taking real pictures of real ground. Real ground that may have real people doing real things on their own real estate.
I don’t like it, but I can live with it.
Perhaps they can have a policy of blanking out areas not “of interest” before archiving photos that must be saved, and not saving those that don’t absolutely need to be saved?
Time to paint a Huge U.S. Flag on the roof.

And the GOP response? Hello?
You can't be serious?
It's King ZERO.
He is rewriting the constitution. . . . . . .
We’re becoming Israel.
We need to get out of the Middle East immediately, in every way.
This is against the wishes of our Fore Fathers.
We’re going off the proper path.

Yeah, heaven forbid they use the drones to fly ALONG the border to help control the border from drug smugglers and human trafficers.
Guess it is safer for them to fly well inside OUR borders and harass/spy on the citizens.
If they were using them for border control I could agree with it.
This is one more reason to despise the “Federal War on Drugs” because it gave them a blank cheque to use federal power directly against citizens, when the exercize of governmental power against the citizens should only be used by the states and local officials.
Reason number 687 why we MUST NOT let nobama get reelected.
Can you imagine what he’ll do with this power? Chilling.
Sure. But I doubt any future President or party will ever give up on power. That is the nature, Gov’t does not let go off control. That’s why its so important to fight that they never get it in the first place.
In fact use of drones for policing purposes did ALREADY happen.
For drugs, right? For border enforcement?
It’s VERY instructive that the answer to both is no —it was for the cops to spy on very rural RANCHERS, in Wyoming, or something.
They used a predator drone to do it.
The Enemy of the State is US —it’s US on this very website. We’re mannerly, law-abiding, well-read and WE are the enemy, apparently.
