Poll: Should We Use Drones to Spy on Americans?
Unmanned aircraft could soon be monitoring Americans.
President Barack Obama recently signed the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, a law that requires new rules for allowing unmanned drones to operate in American airspace, according to Public Radio International.
"Supporters of the measures think new fleets of drones will soon be able to assist in crime prevention, surveillance and other non-military purposes. Drones are already used to patrol the U.S.-Mexican border. But critics of the new measures fear drone imaging technology will erode personal privacy," the article said.
The ACLU has petitioned the FAA to consider the potential breaches in privacy that drones could create through the use of heat-detection and video surveillance, the report said.
So Wrentham, we want to know ...

I have been harrassed by spy drones for over nine years.
They are noisy Disguised Jet, and Proppellor drones, the Perverts and Cowards running them would have been lined up in front of a Firing Squad by our Founding Fathers.
These are sick, sick Peeping Tom, Voyuer, Perverts, I would like to knock them on thier Asses, but they are to Cowardly to face a "Real American"!
Trillions of our Hard earned Tax Dollars have already been wasted.
See my You Tube Post: "Un-reported near miss over Arizona" , to see a couple of these Disguised Drones over my Gilbert Arizona Home.
Thge Drones look nothing like the Predator B, that they always show us, they are disguised as Airliners, Fed-Ex, U.P.S. ect., ad smaller private aircrafts like mooney, cessna, vee wings, bi-planes ect, ect.
They are Disguised because the out of control Assholes in these Programs know what they are doing is Wrong!
These Bastards are Trashing our Constitution, and Desicrating the graves of our Tens of Thousands of Real Troops that fought, and gave thier lives to protect "We The People,", our Constitution, and "Freedom"!
These Spying "Tyrants" don't belong on American Soil!
To say this is teir "Job" is No Excuse for their Tyranny to America!
To; Liberty.

We could use them to parol the borders and stop the flow of "illegal" immigrants. They should not be spying on US citizens. How is that constitutional and a huge waste of money. Also, who decides the targets? Are they based on politics. That would be my guess.
