Remote-Controlled Planes Could Spy on British Homes
February 24th, 2009Via: Telegraph:
Police could soon use unmanned spyplanes like those used to track enemy troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for surveillance operations on British homes.
The Home Office has suggested that the remote-controlled drones could be used to help police gather evidence and track criminals without putting officers at risk.
The miniature aircraft could be fitted with cameras and heat-seeking equipment, allowing police to carry out aerial reconnaissance from a control room.
They also have the benefit of being quieter than conventional helicopters or spotter planes and are much cheaper to run due to their fuel economy.
However, their use is likely to provoke opposition from people sceptical of Britain’s increasing use of surveillance equipment, who fear they represent yet another example of the expansion of a Big Brother state.
I was thinking it would be really neet if these spy planes could be trained on Bush and Cheney. You know, follow their every move, night and day. Broadcast the videocam worldwide. And at the bottom of the videocam have the rolling wordspeak, how do you like being spied on you suckers! And then when Bush and Cheney could not take the invasion of their privacy anymore, we had the video of them freaking losing it and running out on their neighborhood Texan/Paraguay streets buck naked. Dick flapping in the breeze. Georgie gettin a hard on from it. All on camera.
Now that’s real porn! I’m not into porn. But this would be awesome.
