um, couple of thoughts....so called police routinely break the law every day, it's a job requirement...so that is hardly an excuse.
they don't cause a problem in places like Iraq and afghanistan, they shoot them down all the time...i suspect more likely arguments going on whether to deploy that tech as plenty of journalists about and they don't want known how advanced their tech is....
why no photos of this drone? surely somebody should have got some pics by now with a super duper lense?
just leaves me with very uneasy suspicion something bigger going on here that we're not being told about....
