Police Getting Unmanned Drones To "Fight Crime & Terror"
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I am sorry, how is this an invasion of a privacy?
Its no different than a helicopter; they are to be used retroactively, i.e. when a crime occurs and to catch criminals.
You people are way too paranoid, and way too scared of the government.
With that said, I am against this simply because it is costly. The police already have helicopters in their inventory, and they do a fine job. The last thing we need is to spend billions per state purchasing these drones, training people to use them, and maintaining them.
DONT TASE ME BRO!"The most promising technology since tasers." Yup, those things are never abused by law enforcement.:lol:

This right here is handing liberties and freedom over to the government. This isn't about you being nude or anything, this is about the ability for a government monitor our every move.
I thought in a democracy WE were in control of our government. You give this kind of power to the wrong people and you may as well given a loaded gun to a mass murderer.
You gotta remember, the current guys may not abuse it, but you've given the power to the position. This goes for all positions of government.

Which ones again?
I can't make judgement until I know the procedure behind the usage of these. If it's like a normal helicopter then that's fine.... if you require evidence of criminal activity and able to get a warrant (procedure for wire tapping) then that's fine as well. If you can put them on suspected people.. that's where it's no good.
Hitler would be proud.killzonexboxYou might want to think about what you post before you post it. You might find it to be rather silly.
Did we learn NOTHING from Terminator? Sienrin
Actually we did. It won't be some homicidal AI trying wipe us out.
It will be the DOJ (good thing I'll probably be working for these guys soon, maybe even as a drone pilot!). Can't fight the Power? BE the Power!
Lady's and gentlemen
they already have satellite's so don't think spying on you any new.
Taxes is getting a unmanned blimp.... And it wil be used during night due. This guy was commenting on how it has one of the newest night vision technology. New york had a blimb after 9/11 it was there till 2005 last time i check
Guys i highly suggest you check out these two links on a daily bases.
1: http://www.infowars.com/
2: http://www.abovetopsecret.com/live.php
Infowars is highly respected by millions. these altertive medias will touch any thing unlike mainstream medias that is controled by big corps and where the goverment can tell them no. So 90% stuff you see on these websites you will never see on your little news channle.

Posting a quote from an influential figure does not an argument make. It can be argued that all security necessitates giving some sort of liberty; should we therefore have no security whatsoever?Besides, I have yet to see what liberties are being compromised with these.
Cop cars are way more intimidating. Rednecks are just going to 30-O6 those drones out of the sky
I know I will
The UAV wouldn't be "spying" on anyone. that would be way too costly to keep it up that long. It will be used the track down criminals and in high speed chases. People on gamespot are too paranoid.
Tasers were designed for the average C.O.P who shouldn't be a C.O.P because they are 5 foot 150 pounds therefore incapable of wresting with someone.
I am 100% against the mainstream use of less lethal equipment. People take you more seriously when they know their options are comply or die. Less Lethal and Less than lethal items have their applications but they should remain special application, not standard application.
People get tased and batoned because they don't listen. Arguing and resisting is not acceptable. Obstruction is not acceptable. Arguing with officershinders police business therefore it's notacceptable.
Someones some jerk C.O.Ps do go rogue, but usually someone that gets their ass beat by the C.O.Ps is a person that habitually breaks the law as well as habitually disrespects the enforcers. So it escalates to primitive communication.
The stupid part is most criminals don't do things out in the open. If the government is giving police these expensive drones apparently they are not veryuseful. That's why the federal government gives equipment to the municipal police, it's junk.

Neither do they here. The only ones to carry guns and tasers are the armed response units.Wait, so...either comply with authorities or die?Tasers were designed for the average C.O.P who shouldn't be a C.O.P because they are 5 foot 150 pounds therefore incapable of wresting with someone.

In the U.S a lot of people who are pulled over are invehicle that was reported stolenor the vehicle is damagedwhich usually means hit & run. Most of thecriminals here are killers. Normally they stall while getting out of the vehicle and pull a gun as they turn. So usually the police keep a taser on the suspectsso if the suspectmoves the suspectgets zapped. Or if you get close enough they will try to stab you with something or even clobber you with a lug wrench or whatever.They are dangerous, so many departments have better safe than sorry procedure.
