It has to be a civilian opperation, no local, county state or federal oversight or control.

It's a good idea. Though to allow that much control over our air-space for law enforcement to actually conduct endless "spying" operations on populations is creepy at best. At its worst I can see the slipery slope of abuse.

We should allow for private ownership and operation for drones. They would in turn lease air time video feeds to enforcement agancies, Conduct special opperations etc etc. All under the supervision of civilian privately owned "Drone" companies.

No level of government agency should be allowed to opperate spying opperations on civilians ,at random, useing Drones. Spy-Drones should only be allowed under a court order just like a search warrant. Wherein proof of a crime or potential crime must be submitted as probable cause to obtain a search warrant.

No Drones with weapons sould be allowed to be flown within the borders of the USA.

To the owner of the drones in Waurika. I know who you are. I know who your wife is. I know where you live, and I know when your wife leaves your house. I know when she returns back home, and I know who her friends are and when they’re not around. I know the precise time you leave for work and return back home. I know who your employer is, and I know who your family members are. So if you don’t want me to prove all of this to you, keep the drones away from Rd 2790, or I will prove to you that I know all of the above and when I do you wont know what hit you.

Daily Horoscope for May 21

Gemini

A little give and take goes a long way, so try to be flexible and malleable when dealing with others. It will also pay to ask people what they think rather than to make sweeping assumptions on their behalf, because you could be in for a surprise. A child may have some interesting information for you, or they could make a statement that really sets you thinking.
