Why Is A Government Drone Flying Over A Sacramento Neighborhood?
CBS Sacramento ^ | May 17th, 2018 | Unattributed

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Neighbors say they’re furious over a drone that’s flying over the neighborhood, and we’ve found out it’s tied to a government agency not many people have even heard of.

The mysterious drone has been spotted during late-night hours, hovering over residential neighborhoods and looking down on homes.

John Mattox first spotted the mysterious drone about a month ago.

“The drone would fly over here, come over my neighbor’s house, fly over our house right here,” he said. “You come home from work, it would be operating, go to bed it was still operating, and this would repeat day after day.”

His neighbors in Sacramento’s upper Land Park neighborhood wondered what it was doing.

“It just doesn’t feel good,” said Ben Allen. “It hovers around. You don’t know what they’re looking at and monitoring.”

Neighbors say they’ve heard the drone flying in the early morning hours, well before sunrise.

This week, they learned it’s being flown by the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA). It manages two nearby housing communities, Alder Grove and Marina Vista. Those complexes have seen serious crimes, including a fatal shooting in January and a triple homicide in 2016.

Hmmm, I wonder why they're monitoring that area? I just can't figure it out.

“Its pilot is Eric Cartman”

To this day he’s adamant that he didn’t get an anal probe.

Why would a Housing and Redevelopment Agency need a drone?

For what possible purpose?

Agenda 21 comes to mind, practice for it once they have us all in big cities..

Probably to detect any charcoal based barbecues that might have migrated from Oakland.

A guy I know lives out in the country. Got a dog and built a dog house. About two months later he got a call from the county. “Sir - we see that you built a dog house but have not licensed your dog yet. License fees are ....”

Is it legal to laser-blind a drone?

How would they know?

“Why would a Housing and Redevelopment Agency need a drone?”

To provide important surveillance information for their SWAT team.

Isn’t the housing agency someone responsible for safety in the project?

Why Is A Government Drone Flying Over A Sacramento Neighborhood?

Because the Goodyear blimp was unavailable to do the aerial shots for the midnight basketball game

Question: “ Why Is A Government Drone Flying Over A Sacramento Neighborhood?“
Answer: To get to the others side!

As much as I love black helicopters, UFOs, Trilateral commissions and such like, there are numerous non-nefarious uses for drones. Property assessments, utility surveys, mapping, street inspections. Of course all of the great law-n-order Freepers will say if you don’t have anything that hide... So yeah they could be looking for your stash.

Laser blind my patooti, Mr. Mossberg could take permanent care of that little problem.
From good concealment of course.

Shoot and leave the scene immediately, it’s the only way to be sure.
