Dozens of organizations concerned about a cataclysmic loss of privacy for Americans are petitioning the federal government to address that issue as thousands – maybe even tens of thousands – of drones are expected to be put into the air over the U.S. in coming years.
“Drones greatly increase the capacity for domestic surveillance. Gigapixel cameras used to outfit drones are among the highest definition cameras available, and can ‘provide real-time video streams at a rate of 10 frames a second.’ On some drones, operators can track up to 65 different targets across a distance of 65 square miles. Drones may also carry infrared cameras, heat sensors, GPS, sensors that detect movement, and automated license plate readers,” warns the letter sent to Michael Huerta, the acting administrator of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.

Mainly going to be used by the EPA to see when your digging holes on your property,cutting tree limbs,etc.then come take you away.
Just the next step after the traffic cams (but most people had no problem with that). Let's see how you feel now that they will be looking into your bedroom with infrared cameras. Guess you will still be ok with "let them look, I am not doing anything wrong".
