Drone Aircraft Are Being Used for a Wide Variety of Applications. People Must Become Aware of Military Technology Which is Designed to Oppress Citizens of the Police State!

---

Drone aircraft have been used for a long time in military conflict areas like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Now the technology is being adapted for employment in many different ways in the United States. They’re spying on us without our knowledge.

It may completely change the way law enforcement organizations implement surveillance and rescue missions.

Sheriff’s departments are anxious to start using drones when regular crime-fighting methods seem unrealistic or too costly.

The drone can be much less expensive than a typical helicopter. And drones are capable of amazing feats.

A drone aircraft can hover quietly above any accident or crime scene. It can also hover quietly over a person’s house and view the people inside.

Crime stoppers see it as a way to view accident and crime scenes with no danger to the pilot. They also say it can offer a strategic and fiscal benefit.

A drone can be employed to pinpoint the position of victims. Police plan to use the drone aircraft to view those who may break into a house through the roof.

They can fly above the house and determine if it’s worth their time to enter the home.

When drones are employed to enter private spaces and view places the government usually can’t go, or to gather information that would not be available, this becomes a major concern.

New roles are being dreamed up for drones daily. Drones may be used to monitor shipping of dangerous materials.

They may also be employed for protecting dams, power plants, and drinking water utilities. These drones may be used to watch over major events like the Super Bowl.

Some experts believe soon our society will be involved in action where every movement or statement can be followed and watched.

Certain people are concerned with the way the government is using drones for watching over the civilian population of the United States.

Some members of the senate want the president to approve drones for supporting homeland-security operations.

Others urge that drones should be used at an accelerated pace by the military. Funding for drones has increased greatly.

The consensus seems to be: drone development now, privacy issues addressed later.

The most important concern at this time is with developing regulations and measures for drones and air traffic to allocate airspace.

Manufacturer Puts Positive Spin on Drones

John Porter, the manager of business development for General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. manufactures the Predator.

He says the purpose of the drone aircraft is for the safety of people, not for interfering with their lives.

He believes people will have to trust the drone will be used for this reason. The drone should be used for observing small crafts smuggling drugs onto beaches and not for surveying people, he said.

Experts on surveillance technology feel that the advantages of employing unmanned aircraft for homeland security may overpower the disadvantages.

There has to be correct training, as well as supervision and a technology that remains economical.

Drone Crashes Near Los Angeles

After a drone aircraft crashed near Los Angeles during a surveillance mission, the FAA ordered that more tests should take place.

The sheriff’s department in Lost Angeles conducted this test and felt embarrassed by the bad results.

The drone crashed into a field. This failed test highlighted a big problem: that drones are very unreliable.

They crash often and people are understandably afraid these drones may end up crashing into a school or playground. They may even crash onto the roof of a home that is inhabited.

In addition, radio transmissions that occur from the ground operator to the drone might just hinder other important transmissions.

Those that occur between civilian or military aircraft and ground controllers could be jeopardized. These are genuine safety concerns about civilian employment of drones.

There are also genuine privacy worries. Drones manipulated by police or civilian contractors that fly at levels that make them silent as well as invisible could subject every part of a person’s life to secret surveillance.

These worries increase when you know how simple it is to supply the drones with night vision cameras, infrared heat detectors, and directional sound-detection devices.

Right now law enforcement officials are planning to talk about how they can use drone aircraft to capture bad politicians and other suspects.

While most citizens want to see the laws protected, they don’t want to be spied on.

They want to retain their privacy, which is one of the civil liberties that is the heritage of all Americans.
