>>What you are seeing are probably not cameras<<

Well now, I’ve never claimed to be the brightest bulb in the package, but I’m pretty sure what I’m seeing are cameras.

Thanx anyway.

Don’t forget the “creep” from Civil to Criminal and Misdemeanor to Felony.

The logical culmination of people deciding that “Felons” can’t have guns. God gave mankind the right to keep and bear arms, NOT the state. And when some elitist decided that they would persuade by inches/degrees (the technical term) to disarm society, they made sure to do it by violating the God given rights of people who most would want to not have guns. Trouble is, EVERYONE in the U.S. is guilty of committing multiple felonies in their lifetime (the average as declared in one book discussing it, is 3 Federal Felonies per DAY).

It’s what happens when an apathetic public scapegoats one group of people. The next group is never far behind. Notice politicians get censured and other bull, they don’t go to jail. One in 100 adults in the U.S. is in jail, we have 5% of the world population, but 25% of the world’s prison population. There’s big money to be made in the enslaving of citizens (and making them non citizens). Just wait, it’ss by one in 50, or one in 20 unless people start taking steps to end the police state we live in.

Oh, and children aren’t safe either, just go back to the threads of the two judges in PA a few years back, who put hundreds of kids into group homes, for I think 2 years for the average kid, charging tens of thousands of dollars a year. Why? They were of course getting kickbacks. Wake up people, it’s the most ruthless racket in the history of our nation.

[Art.] "To be in on the ground floor of this is pretty exciting for us here in Montgomery County," Sheriff Tommy Gage said.

Yeah, that's right, knucklehead -- it'll be even more "exciting" when that Stalinist tyrant-wannabe proclaims a coup and orders you into the street to suppress your fellow-citizens with "shoot-to-kill" orders, and gives you an army of federal agents and red-beret political paramilitaries to back you up.

I see that “criminals” was not defined, allowing the average reader to suppose that robbers, rapists and murderers are the intended targets.

Personally, I wonder....

“Gage said he has no immediate plans to outfit his drone with weapons, and he also ruled out using the chopper for catching speeders.

“We’re not going to use it for that,” he said.”

****
“No immediate plans to outfit”: not the same claim as “will not outfit”

And I’m sure it will be tested and used to catch speeders in the near future.

**No immediate plans to outfit**

Means the ultra light-weight 30 cal chain gun pod isn’t scheduled for release till sometime late next year....

GMTA, only without a pilot on board to call it off.

Just another video game...

"We're not going to use it to be invading somebody's privacy. It'll be used for situations we have with criminals," Gage said.

Yeah. Sure, Gage.

When you pass enough Laws, every one eventually becomes a 'criminal'.
Like the KGB used to say: "Show me the man and I'll find you the crime."

Makes me think of the old “punt” guns. Really all a person needs is a modified potato gun firing spools of lightweight mono filament fishing line across the flight path, or buying a hundred green lasers mounted together to make a single beam and burn out the optics, also works with traffic cams.

Another thing is making your own miniature barrage balloons around your property, each a tethered balloon trailing a lightweight nylon net.

"No one prosecuted yet! "

Wrong- some of the Branch Davidian members were prosecuted.

Get one.

Do Battle!


Sort of brings about a new version of Robot Wars. BTW, I remember an old cartoon from the early 1980's in the German magazine, Bunte, showing two RC aircraft enthusiasts who enjoy having their aircraft fight each other. They were in opposing apartment buildings and you saw the junk from previous planes building up in the courtyard between them.
