    Reminds me of that short film where a drone mis identifies a guy going to work as a criminal and he ends up going to prison for 10 years but he ends up inadvertently getting blamed for a crime inside, so it gets bumped 25 to life instead. It does eventually get straightened out, but not before he gets shivved.

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

    Right?

    … Right?

      Absolutely! It won’t be the police, it’ll be Antifa hackers taking over the drones!

    Lawmakers must act? Nah - the only way to act now to prevent armed police drones is for us to form a revolution. There are significantly too few lawmakers currently in power who would even think to vote against something like this, and far too little time before this kind of thing is available to vote in new lawmakers who might actually fight it.

    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?
