Drones will become commonplace in the next several years because 99% of politicians and citizens care zero about privacy.
Yep. Here in Texas, in
Montgomery County, when the sheriff's department spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on a drone, I didn't hear too many people complaining or wanting to kick anybody out of office. And Montgomery County was supposedly conservative. You can't go travel to a decent-sized city in Texas without encountering either state or local cameras. The past 10 years or so have shown me that we are going to slip quietly into a police state, because we've been electing the same people over and over, and we are letting them put up cameras everywhere.
