RE:”
Benjamin Shayne, 39, saw what appeared to be a small Cessna plane hovering in low altitude in areas around West Baltimore where rioting occurred. He tweeted a question about it to his nearly 600 followers through his ScanBaltimore handle and one responded to him with information about the plane, including a screenshot of its flightpath. “ Air planes cant hover. Their air prop points forward not down. They fly forward or in circular patterns.
If they wanted to hover and record the fun below the Phantom 2 hovercraft drone is the right tool, relatively cheap too.

THIS is what sets ACLU off? Not the persecution of police officers, not the encouragement of rioters with the excuse “its only property”, not the swift indictment of the officers involved without the benefit of a grand jury, not for the immediate cover-up of complicity of the local officials with the Current Regime now squatting in the White Hut.

If you aint doin nothin wrong, ya aint got nothin to worry bout. Is that what the officer said to you the last time you had an unwarranted cavity search?

Sounds like Intelligence Support Activity modus operandi in Latin America. They were based out of Ft Belvoir. No idea what became of them, orif they are still around. Used small planes for complex sigint platforms. Just one more example of military tech morphing into civilian applications so the cash flow can keep rolling in to the contractors.
To: shove_it
Mighty interesting.
I would think that a clever defense activity might demand to see the data collected by that aircraft, including images or video obtained by sensing means aboard it.
I would also think that a clever defense attorney might also want to know certain information about who ordered the aircraft to go on its mission, which agency that person works (or worked) for, and for what purpose a federal observation aircraft was ordered into the sky over a US city that was in the throes of civil unrest.

Yes.
The Cessna is, indeed, a very versatile small plane - but I am unaware of any model they ever produced which was capable of hovering.

That’s what I was thinking. “Well Mr. Aclu, to answer your question, we put the planes up there because we wanted to keep an eye on the riots.”

It was Barry making sure the police were giving the rioters space to destroy.

Those whiners at the ACLU didnt mind all the TV helocopters hovering around to catch the rioters on camera.
It must of been a traffic jam up there overhead.
