I wonder how long it takes them to put rockets or a cannon on one...

Maybe .... they aren’t really for spotting traffic citations.

Maybe... the politicians and heads of LEO’s think if they tell you what they are really for, that certain segments of the population will use ACLU, ethnic organizations, and Lawyers to prevent it.

So people think the UAV’s can catch them speeding 24/7 ANYWHERE. And follow the speed limit.
Good.

It’s called DUAL USE TECHNOLOGY. Just because it could be used for traffic violations only, doesn’t mean that is it’s main, or ‘true’ use.

We call them "targets".

Maybe that’s why governments are so afraid of 50 cal. rifles.

I wonder what the penalty is for shooting a robot out of the sky?

That would fall into the Federal offense category.
Very bad, unless you thought it had feathers ;-)

One day, the picture taker, will be armed, and people caught smoking cigarettes will be shot up

Stop giving them idea's!
