On February 8th, 2013 at 3:50 pm a drone was sighted hovering above a neighborhood in West Oakland. There didn’t seem to be a focus, it just maintained it’s position above properties near a highway. It is not known at this point what agency or individual was operating the craft. But regardless of who was in control of the drone, it is the type of thing we can expect to see in the future of we don’t act now.
You can get these at hobby shops, and fly them in your neighborhood schoolyard. Or over your neighborhood city block.
People who suffer from mental disorders such as paranoia, typically would not realize they suffer from it, but it is easy for others around them to recognize the condition.
Has the government ever searched your house/apartment/condo/whatever without a warrant?
wow I could sit here and do this all day....got a question?
Federal Observer Articles - Federal Observer
"Belleville inspectors and armed police officers show up without search warrants to check for occupancy code violations, and ticket people who don't let them in -- a practice experts say is unconstitutional.
Invite friends over, baby-sit your grandchildren, or allow relatives to spend the night in Belleville and you risk an armed police officer turning up at your door to search your home and give you a ticket. "

Note, that just because it may not happen to those one is posting too, does not necessarily mean that it doesn't go on.
A few years ago (the link to the story would take me long time to find) local police or DEA officers busted into a house they suspected of having drugs inside. The man they shot was just home from the military and his home was being invaded. He did what anyone would do, not knowing who it was coming in the front door with guns. He dove for his gun to fire and protect his wife and daughter. He was shot and killed on the spot.
They didn't have a warrant and no charges filed, because..."it was suspected".
So they screw up; shoot an innocent man home from the military (he wasn't killed while on tour of duty, but stateside) and they get to keep their jobs, even though they did not call a judge and secure a warrant and they did not serve one day in prison. There were no drugs and they had the wrong house! Is that not a kick in the pants.
Protocols proper, rules and procedures, they are all there for a reason, but not all law enforcement uses them and they all have a way out if it blows up in their face. We all know this, so to ask a question like that (when did it ever happen to you?) is redundant to say the least.

And you're not secure in your house how? Are there drones flying down your hallways? Is the airspace over your house a Restricted/Prohibited area drones are violating?
I guess we should take away all the traffic cameras, and movie cameras, and personal cameras, and phone cameras also because they can all be used to spy on others. They take away our LIBERTY!
Down with binoculars!
Down with telescopes!
Down with gun scopes!
After that, let's go after the US Army. They have the ultimate: the Invisibility Cloak.
No, they really do!
Someone wearing one can be in your own home and you would never know it!
Liberals support rights to privacy when it involves destroying human life, but oppose rights to privacy when it involves the government spying on people.
I'm going to use roof tiles to write "Don't Tread On Me" and do a rock garden in the shape of a snake.
Plus when I'm on my phone talking to my mother or my kids, I'm going to randomly throw the word "bomb" in there "These new boots I bought are DA BOMB!" "That movie we watched last night was a real bomb."
I'm also going to sprinkle my conversation with these phrases: "I am now PRESIDENT of the Garden Club." I am tired of the character ASSASSINATION of Honey BooBoo." "I've been out SHOOTING some photos of landscaping ideas." "I'm a real PREPPER when it comes to tenderizing a steak." "I HATE GOVERNMENT cheese." "My mother is an emotional TERRORIST."

The public toilets that have motion sensors that activate the flush mechanism when you leave are actually hiding tiny cameras being monitored by a federal employee somewhere in northern Virginia.
