This is why every citizen in the US should be opposed to drones, it's inevitable that they will eventually be used for the sole purpose of generating revenue.

Absolutely!

Flights of drones by the military should be restricted to MOAs (Military Operating Areas) and should never be allowed to be armed with live weapons over CONUS.

Flights of civilian law enforcement drones should require a search warrant and they must be forbidden by law from ever being armed.

Finally the Posse Commitatus Act of 1878 should be updated to cover these emerging technologies and with even stricter prohibition on the use of Military and National Guard in law enforcement roles. 

Just my $.02

That's my point, they want to keep an eye on the enemy of the state, the Conservative movement.

I know many libs laugh at the notion, but the Dim party read these points, they know we know who the real enemy is.

Every citizen is a potential enemy of the state. There are no exceptions.

One of my biggest issues with the left, (including lib friends of mine), is that government is bad when a republican is in office. As soon as their guy gets in, it's like all of a sudden everything the government is up to, is okay. I just don't get it.................

It's still the freaking government!!!! The assumption that a democrat administration is just a kind hearted benefactor, is just stupid!!!! :cursing:

Wasn't there some obscure philosopher who said something along the lines of, "when the people fear the government there is Tyranny but, when the government fears the people there is Liberty"?

The only way I would allow drones is for search and rescue and fire suppression, beyond that it becomes a police state.

I am sure my 03 has something on it.   I know my GPS system has a lot of data in it.  From speed to coordinates for the last 5 years.

In the next few days, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is expected to propose long-delayed regulations requiring auto manufacturers to include event data recorders — better known as "black boxes" — in all new cars and light trucks. But the agency is behind the curve. Automakers have been quietly tucking the devices, which automatically record the actions of drivers and the responses of their vehicles in a continuous information loop, into most new cars for years.

snip~
Besides the upcoming proposal to put recorders in all new vehicles, the traffic safety administration is also considering expanding the data requirement to include as many as 30 additional types of data such as whether the vehicle's electronic stability control was engaged, the driver's seat position or whether the front-seat passenger was belted in. Some manufacturers already are collecting the information. Engineers have identified more than 80 data points that might be useful.

Despite privacy complaints, the traffic safety administration so far hasn't put any limits on how the information can be used. About a dozen states have some law regarding data recorders, but the rest do not.

Numerous sources suggest that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is returning to its black box proposal. If a rule is passed, all new automobiles in the United States will have to have a crash information recorder. Read more here
