First State Legalizes Taser Drones for Cops

“Less than lethal” weapons like rubber bullets, pepper spray, tear gas, sound cannons, and Tasers are therefore permitted on police drones.
The FAA notes 401 drone “operations” performed by the Grand Forks County Sheriff’s Department from 2012 to September 2014.

“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear,”

Body-cams: They have to be activated during the whole shift, except during bathroom breaks. And they automatically turn themselves on again after 10 minutes. If they get turned off anywhere anytime except inside a toilet, you are fired.

Let's disarm Americans and ramp up arming our local Police.

You don't consent to a search, what do you have to hide???
