Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a bill that would have required police to obtain warrants for surveillance by drone, making California the latest state to weigh on an issue that is dividing lawmakers across the country.
Mr. Brown's decision comes as the nation grapples with how to balance concerns over privacy and civil liberties with a technology that police departments say can serve as a powerful law-enforcement tool.

Let the police post drones outside Jerry’s windows and see how fast he changes his mind.
“dehydration...has been known to lead to some very fuzzy thinking......”
Well, we remain well hydrated and as a matter of fact, I just “hydrated” my front yard this a.m. The problem is that Brown hasn’t been “hydrated” for all of his worthless life. That fact is amply supported by the fact when he finally married, it was to someone who looks like a “man.” Guess he waited too long to hook up with Linda Ronstadt who now looks like a pig.
“...here in TX we still have shotguns, and while were not the best shots, we have lots of ammo.”
Yeah and you really don’t have to “lead” a drone very much. They are not really very sporting to shoot.
The program was recently scaled back as acceptance of marijuana has changed. However, it seems to me that the precedence has been set for flyover surveillance of properties.
If helicopter flyovers were legal, why are drone flyovers not?

“rumor has it that he’s..in contact with his old buddy from san francisco....”
Sorry, but “OJ” be housed out in de middle of Nevada between Lovelock and Winnimucca in one of their “remotely located” prisons. We were out there for a funeral a couple of years ago and it is in the middle of nowhere with nothing to see out a window if he has one. Justice in Nevada is a Bitch!

Oddly enough, the California Republicans get just as much blame as do the Democrats. They serve as a fine example of what America could become if the Republican liberals and GOP-e remain in charge of the Republican party.
When the Democrats would win, the Republican liberals first inclination is that “We must become more liberal”, though the winning Republicans were always conservatives, more or less, who ran as conservatives, not “big tent” types.
And when the winds would change and the Republicans would win, despite themselves, their first inclination would be to “Extend a hand to the Democrats and offer them the fairness they never gave us.”
The basic problem is that the Republican liberals *never* put in the work to fight the Democrats. Instead they save up all their strength to fight conservatives to keep them from directing the Republican party.
So again, look at California. That is the future that people like Mitch McConnell are trying to bring about for our entire nation. And that is why everyone must plead with Kentucky voters to not vote for McConnell.
Vote for conservatives, but in the McConnell-Grimes race do not vote. There is no way a freshman Democrat can hurt conservatism and our nation a fraction as much as the harm McConnell can do.
“Ojay..... Omar Jihad,.Simpson ..is a San Francsico Native...”
Right you are! Potrero Hill as I recall, back when is wasn’t a good place to live. But he wouldn’t recognize the place now. The PG&E gas holder is gone, the city tenements are gone, and the Facebook crowd has moved in. In the ‘70’s I worked on Jerrold Ave. just to the south. We had dead bodies in the alley next to our offices on a couple of occasions. Who ever thought Third St. would become prime RE?
I worked fir a time down u=in the financial district which was close enough to that old neighborhood
from Orinthal-James to Omar-Jihad,,whodda thunk it?
still the same old Ojay,
