Those are both old, drone use in police enforcement is now fairly routine compared to just a few years ago when the very notion was (rightly) alarming. They're replacing traffic cops left right and center, at the moment...so we still have some time before they get around to replacing the shooters. I'm sure they'll be "non-lethal" drones.....20mm beanbags and shit..... -at first-.

Quote:Soon after news of the gift-wrapped drones spread, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck was forced to declare that his department wouldn't actually be using them—not just yet, anyway. “I will not sacrifice public support for a piece of police equipment,” he proclaimed, saying he would seek input from the public before ever allowing a drone to fly over the city. As of now, the city's drones are stashed away in a warehouse owned by the Department of Homeland Security.For a little backstory here...Seattle -gave- them to the LAPD, no charge...hot fucking potato..lol.
Remember kiddies, it's a crime to damage the PD Drone taking a picture of your penis through your bedroom window.....and those pictures -will- be taken, lol.
Oh, but those are just little rc drones...right? Ha!
