Texas is ahead of the curve - Texas law enforcement is giddy with delight over being able to monitor Texans. Not enough that they keep adding cameras everywhere, they've got drones already.

Michael Buscher, chief executive officer of manufacturer Vanguard Defense Industries, said this is the first local law enforcement agency to buy one of his units.
He said they are designed to carry weapons for local law enforcement.
"The aircraft has the capability to have a number of different systems on board. Mostly, for law enforcement, we focus on what we call less lethal systems," he said, including Tazers that can send a jolt to a criminal on the ground or a gun that fires bean bags known as a "stun baton."
You just watch, everybody who was involved with procuring these drones down there in Montgomery county who is in an elected position will win reelection, no problem. Even the Conservatives in Montgomery County didn't seem to make much of a fuss over this.
