UK Police sky drones: no one is safe

Another Orwellian piece of news from the UK:

"Pilotless police drone takes off

The UK's first police remote control helicopter has taken off.

Merseyside police are using the "spy drone", fitted with CCTV cameras, mainly for tackling anti-social behaviour and public disorder.

The machine is 1m wide, weighs less than a bag of sugar, and can record images from a height of 500m.

Originally used by the military, it is due to be operational by June for a full three-month trial, which is the "first of its kind" in the UK.

The drone will also be used for monitoring traffic congestion and investigations are to be made into its possible role in firearms operations.

Merseyside 4channers, better close your curtains. Big brother might be watching!

Fuck this shit. I think shooting a cop in the head should now be classed as a lawfull killing to defend your civil rights

Labour arn't very libertarian these days

give it time as with any bureaucracy they'll not service them correctly and they'll start falling from the skies anyway.

first time a kid is killed by one of these falling from the sky they'll be gone and it'll have been another huge waste of taxpayer funds.

guaran-fucking-tee-it.

Now if the camera could get a picture of some titties while in the  air I might consider buying one.
