Aerial, unmanned, expendable vehicles are becoming very high-level battlefield weapons. Though we currently have the most sophisticated and largest inventory of military drones, Russia, Iran and especially China are rapidly closing in. On the homefront, worries about domestic drone attacks on large public gatherings are becoming a significant concern. Currently, only certain federal agencies and military bases can legally splash them.
Exigent circumstance notwithstanding, destruction of aircraft is a federal crime for civilians – and local police. Congress is considering a bill to allow property owners to shoot down low-flying drones over their land. However, doing so is no different than shooting an arrow or bullet into the air; gravity impacted objects, such as drone pieces that injure someone, are a civil liability concern.
Drones are being considered by some LE agencies as first responders. In other words, when you call 911, the “responding cop” might only be a drone with a camera and communication capabilities. Dispatchers will, supposedly, watch a live video feed to assess threats, victims, hazards, and needed resources. The proliferation of LE Drones might be a step toward a safer community… or maybe just another scheme to de-arm police by reducing force size?
