Miami-Dade police buy drones - Page 1 - News - Miami - Miami New Times I am just bringing this but but when is this crap going to stop...
Yes, I knew this was coming since I used to watch "Dark Angel" years and years ago. Hey, I look at it this way...no need to go out and buy skeet. Of course, not too many people like this in Miami. The people have spoken -they voted for slavery, that's what they will get.
Like I wrote when the Houston program came out, use them for target practice. Off topic: As far as Dark Angel goes, you only watched it for the same reason I did, Jessica Alba, lol.
This is nothing, but NEW Technology, replacing OLDER, and more expensive, Technology. Do you have ANY idea what it costs to keep a local Police Chopper in the Air for an Hour????? Pilots pay alone is Significant, compared to a Drone Operator, but just the maintenance, fuel, and spare parts, are on the order of $800 — $1000US/Hour. Now figure what a Drone Costs to operate per hour, and it has two or three times the loiter time, as a Chopper. It is simply MUCH cheaper, and Municipalities are figuring this out, as they are going BROKE because they can't PAY their Bills, and Uncle Sugar will give them one of these, with a Federal Grant, using ObamaBucks. Excuse "Me" while I reAdjust my the lining of my Hat....
LiveLeak.com - Houston Police Use Drones to Spy on Public??? Remember this? Drones used in Houston to spy on public.
Hey,i have a toy helicopter with a camera on it.Im not law enforcement,but its always useful. Seriously,spying is wrong.
These are not predators or anything like that. Different crappy technology compared to the air force drones we all hear so much about.
