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.

californians......actually voted to return moonbeam to the state house....
its the water
Californian politicians certainly have destroyed a beautiful state.
I thought Jerry Brown was supposed to be a for-the-people kind of guy.
visited cali once in the 80s, it certainly is a beautiful state................some of the people however...
No, the electorate did that. They had a choice who to vote for and either didn’t show up or voted for destruction. The pols did what they said they’d do....
I dont see how they could make it much worse...
It’s very tempting for myself, a conservative, not to vote in California elections, but I pray someday there will be enough voters voting for a change to the insanity. Our elected officials have recently allocated 30 million dollars to pay for the relocation of birds on the old Bay bridge to the new Bay bridge.
It seems to me that Californians have destroyed a beautiful state by choosing to elect California Politicians. We might survive the idiots in office, but only if America quits electing them.
I wonder what the framers would have thought about some state clown flying by their windows in a hot air baloon spying upon their doings without so much as a warrant? My sense is not so much.
We have gone full circle now, rather than the state being open to the voters, it is not closed for anything except what it dains to let out while the citizens are free to be spied upon at whim. Sad times.
“it’s the water”
No, we don’t have any water, must be something else!
We are told daily that liberals are the only ones who will protect our civil liberties.
Has the WSJ now put all of its content behind a paywall?
dehydration...has been known to lead to some very fuzzy thinking......
This pric@ never was. He is a typical communists anti freedom jackass and the jackass communists democratic voters love him. California is finished and has been the magnetic for the insane and illegals.
Is OK for the chumps in CA - but here in TX we still have shotguns, and while we’re not the best shots, we have lots of ammo.
As if we don’t?
I guarandamntee you that if I see one of those buzzing around my house it’s going down...
:)
PULL!
Weirldy enough, I agree with Governor Brown on this one. If police are required to have warrants to use RC helicopters that are equipped with cameras then that law would be misused to say that everyone has to get permission to use RC helicopters equipped with cameras.
That would not be in the best interests of freedom and liberty. I’d rather let the police use these things as they see fit than to let the police start regulating whether or not private citizens can use these things to keep an eye on the police.
Damn straight...I’m way past sick and tired of this idiocy.
Liberal scum just keep pushing and sheeple just go along with it...baaa.
I have lots of birdshot rounds, lots...one could almost say it’s an “arsenal”.
I shoot all kinds of birds; the clay type, the feathered type and in this case, I will add the motorized type.
