    Hmmmmmmm,
    Wonder what happens when some "hacker" takes control of one of these non-lethal drones?

    Also wonder what type of equipment it takes to jam the operating signal so the drone is a lead weight?

    AF - It's like I just watched a sci fi movie whie reading your post.

    I was going to ask what your thoughts are to those that say "if you're not doing anything wrong, than why would it matter?" but I think you already answered my question.

    Just in case anybody isn't clear on this:

    Yes, you ARE doing something wrong, I guarantee it.

    And regardless, 24/7 surveillance by unknown "authorities" is not freedom, so lets just drop all the "land of the free" and "they're fighting for our freedoms" nonsense.

    but when you publicly declare that, be ready to be ostracized.

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    Yeah, I know, I get the hairy eyeballs all the time for not showing proper "respect" during anthems, pledges and other shows of allegiance to the state.

    Luckily, I'm a big guy, with what Mrs. AF calls an "intimidating demeanor", so it's always been limited to just the dirty looks.

    I imagine that the vast majority of people will be allowed to continue to do things wrong - until you become inconvenient. By that I mean, that unless you do something big, they'll probably let you slide until you start making too much noise. Then, you will be erased. They will have enough evidence on every human to convict at will.

    If, by some chance, you are following their laws completely, they'll examine your behavior and create a new law to ensure that you will violate it.

    Again, though... Is there any possible way to prevent this? By constitutional means? It seems unlikely. This seems inevitable.

    Yes, we amend the constitution to prohibit it.

    If you could get anybody to give a shit.
