    Lawmakers Must Act Now to Prevent Armed Police Drones
    www.eff.org
    This is not science fiction. It’s not premature. If towns, cities, states, or the federal government want to act to reign in the emergence of armed police drones and robots, we have precious little time.

        Don’t call 911. No drones to protect you.

          Lawmakers must act? Nah - the only way to act now to prevent armed police drones is for us to form a revolution.

            So since the drones can’t fear for their lives, this will be the absolute end of police"accidentally" murdering unarmed people, right?

                Yeah armed drones, so who gets sued/goes to jail when someone hacks the system and goes nutty at a school? Or what if a bad actor state like the ccp hacks all of them and makes a coordinated attack?

                The US just banned DJI drones for ccp hacking, when do we say enough is enough?

                    And who would investigate such an obvious false flag attack against, oh let’s say, the political enemies of the current administration?

                          Armed police drones are what the lawmakers crave.
