Ah, but, it won't be government entities that do this. It will be the corporations selling this information to the government.

Like they already do.

If one rearranges the letters and adds an "r" "drone" would spell "Dorner".

People are so funny. They get worked up over the dumbest things. If you're bothered enough by this to start a thread or make a youtube video about it, but you don't react the same about helicopters, then you're stupid, plain and simple. There is no difference between the two, except for operational cost and safety.
I keep wondering how this is different from Google Earth or Streetview.

Talk about detail.

If the drone gets within 500' ft of your property it is invading your air rights. Shoot it down!!!

If they are going to spy on me I might as well give them something to ponder.

That is the danger of direct democracy, and why we have a representative republic.

The masses would willingly give away their liberty if allowed to do so, and it seems that some people on this thread want to do just that.
You are right on both counts and I retold history wrong in the making of that point. Understandably then, when other countries are looking at us and the messes that have been created, they blame the people.

Can you imagine... the end of the world --- not cause by war with another country --- but caused by everyone fighting against one another using drones in public places and on the streets throughout America!!

Somehow I wouldn't doubt it..


Peace!
