Couldn't help but using a
¡Mayday! song title (
The Future Is Now) for this posts headline. It wasn't so long ago that Sci-fi movies set in the future had robot drone planes policing its citizens and trust me it wasn't a good thing in the movie. I can see the argument in favor of using these things over our skies to assist law enforcement but so is the story of the mark of the beast. By no means am I trying to pull this into a biblical or conspiracy argument but there is something very wrong about using technology used to reek havoc in warfare over cities and suburbs. There are to many ways this technology can be abused. If you look at history and all the reasons we were made to fear communism, totalitarianism, and dictatorships is because of the thought of your every move being watched! Are we still home of the brave land of the FREE? Make your own judgment. In the mean time check out this article by the
Miami New Times on this Drone purchase by Miami-Dade and then go and check out this older post I did about the use of these unmanned Drones entitled "
The Terminator".
