I tend to agree with you. They have their place but the humans manipulating them can use them for their own sinister plans as with any monitoring devices.

Yep- time and place. These are fantastic for search and rescue, but not so much interested in a Domino's drone landing a pie in my yard. So to the conclusion when we can make our entire army drones then what? Will it be like the Star Trek episode where wars are fought digitally and people report to a death chamber as required? I vote for the grey goo or the day Skynet becomes self-aware.  Really we deserve nothing more. |

EVT1 is a pizza delivery hater.  I think that would scare the yell out of some older nontech people. {Arty runs to buy a new souped up helicopter with better rockets and a go pro mount} |

Brossart had been accused of stealing cows worth $6,000, though ultimately he was found not guilty. He was sentenced to three years, however, for being a part of the police standoff. Most of the sentence was suspended.
Brossart's attorney tried to get the terrorizing charges dropped, arguing that the drone evidence was unjust because there wasn't a search warrant specifically authorizing it. It seems the judge disagreed. Charges against the farmer's daughter and wife were dropped, but his three sons still have charges pending.
so for all of the penultimate statism he was after all NOT GUILTY of anything.
even the stuff they charged him with that they caused - "terrorizing"
drones have no place in domestic air space. the govts can not be trusted to just use them for good.
