It is now legal for law enforcement in North Dakota to fly drones armed with everything from Tasers to tear gas thanks to a last-minute push by a pro-police lobbyist.
With all the concern over the militarization of police in the past year, no one noticed that the state became the first in the union to allow police to equip drones with “less than lethal” weapons. House Bill 1328 wasn’t drafted that way, but then a lobbyist representing law enforcement—tight with a booming drone industry—got his hands on it.

“It’s really all about the commercial development, which is where all of this is heading,” Lund replied. “If [a law] is somehow limiting commercial, law enforcement development... that is a negative in terms of companies looking and investing in opportunities in the state of North Dakota,” Lund said.
Words just don't mean anything any more.
That's exactly how the Soviet system operated.
You know the awful part?
I predicted this all, way back in 2005.
The corruption of the Republicans, the turn towards Sovietism in America.
It appears that we who study history are doomed to watch those who don’t study history, repeat it.
Ping.
THAT was easy.
Especially the words in the constitution.
Of course, if someone says anything that could somehow be construed as offensive to some group then words mean everything.
Lots of us have been flying the warning flags for years.
Sadly, few seem to want to listen, until it’s too late.
