No doubt these will be used to search parked cars in the open. They will also be used to illegally search citizen's property, as it flies over...Total invasion of privacy. I suggest folks in Houston start mooning the sky!!!!

2. So, they want to violate our privacy in complete privacy?

3. A whole industry for violating privacy has evolved
everything from this to implanted chips to the equipment at airports, you name it. All since 9/11.

10. There's places around Telephone Rd, over around Fondren Rd.
or even the 5th ward where it might just get shot down. I wouldn't be surprised and will laugh my ass off if it happens!

7. The war machine is coming home to feast on us.

Did you notice in the news story how they said the Police helicopter was communicating to the News Chopper that they had to leave the airspace because it was "restricted"? The News Chopper guy checked with the FAA - the FAA said the airspace was NOT restricted.

It is fitting that the first launch of this spy drone was mixed with threats, lies, and intimidation by the Police.

Fucking pigs, how can they get away with this shit? Time for the DA to investigate that Police Chopper pilot.

9. I go along with ther outrage here, but...
... we're spied upon from on high already. This just makes it more convenient.

Will this mean I can't even take a pee in my back yard anymore???

15. And no doubt they will.
While in school, I worked as a flight instructor and people would shoot at our planes for doing maneuvers over their farmland... imagine what people will do to something unmanned!
