Domestic Spying

     The Washington Post reports on the use of drones by American Police Departments, including this objection from the ACLU in the story:



"We are not against them, absolutely. They can be a valuable tool in certain kinds of operations. But what we don't want to see is their pervasive use to watch over the American people."


  And if this is OK, when the technology arrives that allows viewing through walls --and it will-- will that be OK too? Should there be no limits on the powers granted police to catch law-breakers?



[And about the photo above...I fully believe the military intentionally downgrades any aerial photos or videos it releases so not to show the quality as it really is.]
