FBI To Rand Paul: Domestic Drone Surveillance Doesn’t Require A Warrant
Drone surveillance in the United States does not require a warrant, but the practice remains limited, the FBI told Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., in a letter after he placed a hold on James Comey’s nomination to be the new FBI director.
“[T]he FBI does not, and has no plans to use [unmanned aerial vehicles] to conduct general surveillance not related to a specific investigation or assessment,” Stephan Kelly, the assistant director at the FBI’s Office of Congressional Affairs, wrote Paul.
Kelly said that UAVs, or drones, have only been used for surveillance in the United States 10 times since 2006, in cases related to “kidnappings, search and rescue operations, drug interdictions, and fugitive investigations.” More
The elephant is in the room..soon the government will be in our homes making sure you brush your teeth..you know people with bad dental hygine are making it expensive for children with good teeth...dont worry they only go after bad people...
Yeah sure. They Do No Want To Do That, but no one is stopping them, so they do it anyway. I wonder, if someone feels threatened by the drone at night and decides to shoot it down, what happens then?
Wouldn't that be a great theme for a Saturday night party. Byob and your high powered rifle, lawn chair, and Englishes fried chicken, for a shoot down a drone party. If the planes have lights they will not be considered a target. Only Obama's Socialists drones will be.
The FBI still uses warrants? The Patriot Act and the NDAA has absolved them (and every police agency in the country) of that necessity. And of Habeas Corpus. And the right to trial by jury of your peers. Don't forget the right to "be secure in your person and papers" -- that's gone, too, along with freedom of travel, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, and the right to privacy. Keep cheering, all you idiots who believe if you aren't doing anything wrong, then you don't need any "rights". They LOVE to hear your endorsement!!
