The bill would ban the use of weaponized drones, but exempt police
Connecticut lawmakers are considering whether the state should become the first in the country to allow police to use drones outfitted with deadly weapons, a proposal immediately met with concern by civil rights and liberties advocates.
The bill would ban the use of weaponized drones, but exempt police. Details on how law enforcement could use drones with weapons would be spelled out in new rules to be developed by the state Police Officer Standards and Training Council. Officers also would have to receive training before being allowed to use drones with weapons.
“Obviously this is for very limited circumstances,” said Republican state Sen. John Kissel, of Enfield, co-chairman of the Judiciary Committee that approved the measure Wednesday and sent it to the House of Representatives. “We can certainly envision some incident on some campus or someplace where someone is a rogue shooter or someone was kidnapped and you try to blow out a tire.”

ReplyDeleteback many years ago I was overseeing testing of a drone for the military. When i told the contractor there was a very limited market for their drone in the military they stated the real money was in hovering one above a major highway and sending out speeding tickets all day. that was about 15 years ago. guess they are getting their money!
ReplyDeleteAnd again I get to say I TOLD YOU SO!!!!! You all love new technology, you all want it, you all crave it and will sit out in the snow or rain for days and hours just to get something new... Then someone invents a drone or something new and to make it even better they add features to it, in this case a drone with weapons, so now instead of no-knock raids, you will just get hit with a bomb or grande or missile from a drone, and you think cops are competent now? Wait until drones are used!!!! Wait until someone else house get blown up because they did a 5 year long investigation and went to the wrong house on the wrong street in the wrong neighborhood in the wrong city in the wrong state... But they got tip this 80 year old is really 25 and growing pot, then they shoot your house up with the drone and oopps no drugs and no 25 year old... Only a dead 80 year old as usual... Then of course the cops will say he had a gun or a weed charge when he was 18 and every one here who sucks the ass cheek of cops will say, shouldn't have done the crime or one less thug...
