Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Drones

Republican Party Seeks To Limit Drone Surveillance: The 2012 Republican Party Platform advocates Fourth Amendment limits on government drones. “We support pending legislation to prevent unwarranted or unreasonable governmental intrusion through the use of aerial surveillance or flyovers on U.S. soil, with the exception of patrolling our national borders.” Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and Representative Austin Scott (R-GA), introduced legislation earlier this year to limit aerial drone surveillance. In March, the House approved an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013, introduced by Representative Landry (R-LA), that prohibits information collected without a warrant by drones operated by the Department of Defense from being used in court. Congressman Ed Markey (D-MA) has also proposed comprehensive legislation for drones. For more information, see EPIC: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Drones. (Aug. 28, 2012)

Now if it showed pictures of them blowing things up... or maybe I'm just being jaded again. Edit: No offense meant, Jade.

How nice it is that we have come a long way from the early days of buzzing a neighborhood at all hours in a noisy chopper with mothership landing lights on board. Made tripping a real adventure and exercise in real paranoia.

I remember when Newport Beach got their first whirlypigs as we called then back then in the early 70's. At least you could hear them coming when you were at the beach and hide your stuff before they got close enough.
