Police made the argument that armed drones in law enforcement could be an effective weapon for public safety. [More]Of course they did. The guy at the monitor with the controller wants to make it home at the end of his shift to play more "Call of Duty." Besides, imagine how much fun it would be strafing dogs.
The inputs for a shoot/don't shoot action should be interesting. They'll make the decision process inputs and sensory capabilities public, right?
On the plus side, if this gets green-lighted, it opens the door for an "in common use at the time" argument -- not that they'd ever accept it.
I'm also wondering what it would take to lure one of these babies into a place where it could be intercepted, captured and re-purposed.

So if you see one on your property without a warrant, pointing its mounted guns at your family without cause, are you legally justified in taking it down?
Or would that be "assault on an officer"? *snerk*
Also, to bring up the age-old debate: what caliber for drones? Would #8 birdshot work, or should I upgrade to #6 or #4? Lead or steel?
