...[snip]
The legislature's judiciary committee passed a bill this week that would make Connecticut the first state in the nation to allow the use of weaponized drones by law enforcement. North Dakota legalized police use of armed drones in 2015, but the law limits those weapons to less lethal technologies, such as rubber bullets and tear gas. The Connecticut measure contains no such restrictions.

DIY EMP - I was thinking along the same lines. Something that can be aimed, lest one damages their own equipment.

Or hack control of the drone...

The USA constitution guarantees all citizens the God given right to protect themselves with the same exact fire power as anyone in law enforcement.
Are Connecticut citizens going to be using weaponized drones? What makes government officials so special? They are citizens like anyone else.
To: Daffynition
Predator Drones, may soon cover the State.

I wonder what *range* these drones have ... coz they are going to need long-range capability to reach all the *former* CT residents fleeing in droves to states less expensive to live.

Remember when the Democrats used to joke about using weaponized drones against us? I sure do.

I suggest that the Citizens of Connecticut require the Dep.of Public Safety.AKA as the State Police to get a permit to possess drones that have the capability to carry weapons.
They should be recertified every three years to possess them.

I suggest that the Citizens of Connecticut require ... LOL. The Connectisheep aren't going to demand anything. The only option for non-parasites in that state at this point is to vote with their feet.
