Can Police Be Trusted With Drones?

23. I know what a drone is.

Place limits on the use of drones
In Montana, the state Senate has already approved two bills defining the uses of drones by local police departments and by individuals. Those bills are currently being evaluated in the House, and will likely be passed along to the governor’s desk with little trouble.

What you do not understand is that this will eventually effect ALL private remote control flying anything, because a camera and transmitter, or just a camera itself can weigh only a few ounces. Because it can be difficult to tell if a private flying anything has a camera on not, our genius legislators will try to legislate private use into illegality, because someone MIGHT put a camera on their model plane. All it will take is one fuzzy picture from a drone of a topless woman sun bathing as the excuse.

I did not say 'will', as in forgone conclusion. But people ARE trying to ban private use right now. There was a news story a month or so ago of a police chief wanting to outlaw ALL private model planes, drones, etc., because of the spy issue, and only allow the police to use to use drones.
