Spydrone all over USA

poor you

Pretty much all of it. The government has said "we should have laws for unmanned drones since they're a thing now" and somehow people have jumped to "the US government is now going to issue thousands of spy drones to enforce the police state". If anything requiring an agency that wants to deplay drones to get a permit limits their power.

Remind me how this would be anything different to using helicopters with thermal cameras that have been used for about 25 years now?

because its new, high tech, and exciting. far more exciting than the government already capable of gps pinpointing your cellphone.

this way people can use their imaginations and picture terminator hunter killers

GP,WM

It's only a matter of time before they invent cameras the size of mosquitoes flying around, and heralding drone strikes.

you do all know they can put a GPS tracker on your car without a warrant right?

Who has said that? Yeah its possible for all police agencies to obtain these UAV's and use it accordingly. However you'd like to call it is up to you though. As if congress would openly say "These are for the police state". You're just being foolish
