Return to Vendor: Seattle ends drone program.

Too much emotion, too little common sense, but par for the course.

In fact, law enforcement who is clearly looked at as an early adopter of these things is also likely to suffer the most public flak for it because of the violation of privacy issues.

Clearly farmers and motion picture companies or even us hobbiests are not going to have as much ire or paranoia directed at us as the assorted government agencies.

It is a sad state of affairs that the people of the United States fear there own governmental institutions as much as they do.

Note, I said sad, not necessarily unrealistic.

They voted to ban all semi automatic guns with detachable magazines because people are supposed to depend on police, yet also voted to ban all police UAV's.

Don't even need to read the article, the name says it all: Seattle Might as well be Portland, San Francisco down that alley.
