As much as we should respect and support our police officers, who generally do a good job in keeping our cities and neighborhoods safe, it is important to remember that too wide a latitude can introduce unintended consequences. And unlimited power can bring with it abuses that we would never imagine.
New technology always introduces the opportunity for both benefits and abuses. So it is with the “epidemic” of drones, the multi-propeller, remote controlled, mini flying platforms that seem on the edge of truly impacting us in hundreds of ways.
They have already shown themselves to be an excellent tool for taking aerial photographs to map wildfires, help real estate agents, and monitor traffic, but they have also been used for illegal peeping and surveillance. They will soon be used for package delivery, which could free up highway traffic and congestion, but could also introduce new ways for unmanned delivery of things like illegal drugs or weapons.
And in one of the newest conundrums having to do with drones, police departments are reviewing how drones will be used, and possibly misused. Legislation in both South Carolina and Tennessee offers a look at how drone use might be applied, and it is important to look at the legislation both for what it says, and for what it does not say.

Setting up the police state framework
You’re joking I’m sure. With all the mistaken police shootings FTF?
are they simple to make?
very. Anything that puts out a RF signal can be used as a jammer if you tweak it a little. All you need is an antenna, power supply, and RF modulator that goes to the appropriate frequency.
They are “illegal”, as per FCC regs, but if you are making one for this purpose, the legality aspect isn’t important, now is it?
Jeremy Childress They didn’t….The NSA program has to be one of the most misunderstood conspiracy theories out there. Google and Facebook knows more about you than the NSA, I suggest you do some intelligent research. As far as the IRS of course that is a real issue. TWO SEPARATE THINGS! What do they have to do with each other and the drone?…First order of a debate, make sense.
Gary Blayton Oh Geesh. I would hope that if law enforcement had a drone out there it would be there to catch the dirty old man out there with a drone watching my daughter! First off a law enforcement officer would be fired immediately for something like that. I am shocked that this many people mistrust. What do you people do on the weekends….join up with BLACK LIVES MATTERS groups? Just gross. I am an American loving, gun loving Vet loving Republican. I support Police and my Military….I gave a brother to this country. Anyone that doesn’t support it can get what they deserve.

Put a frog into a vessel fill with water and start heating the water.
As the temperature of the water begins to rise, the frog adjust its body temperature accordingly.
The frog keeps adjusting its body temperature with the increasing temperature of the water. Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog cannot adjust anymore. At this point the frog decides to jump out.
The frog tries to jump but it is unable to do so because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature.
Very soon the frog dies.
What killed the frog?
Think about it!
I know many of us will say the boiling water. But the truth about what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when to jump out.
We all need to adjust with people & situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust & when we need to move on. There are times when we need to face the situation and take appropriate actions.
If we allow people to exploit us
physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually or mentally they will continue to do so.
Let us decide when to jump!
Let’s jump while we still have the strength.
Our society is turning into a scene from they live the aliens are muslims
We’ll soon have dog fights in the air.
