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.

Absolutely no. When a “mistake” happens, you’ll have to beg for an apology. You’ll have to sue for damages. Lots of luck.

Remind when, if ever, in the history of police in CT, that they ever, ever needed a armed drone to stop a crime?

Wonder what the police union thinks? They should ALL be up in arms about taking away the cop’s jobs.
Or is this the job, cops don’t want to do? Let’s hire some drones to do their job?
FWIW, does a drone *know* which subject is the *bad guy*?
Does the drone get union bennies and a pension? Overtime pay?
