Eye in the sky: Local constables using drones to fight crime

"Drones should be prohibited for indiscriminate mass surveillance, with their use by police only permitted where there are grounds to believe they will collect evidence relating to a specific instance of criminal wrongdoing, or in emergencies. We need a system of rules to ensure that we can enjoy the benefits of this technology without bringing us closer to a 'surveillance society,' in which everyone's move is monitored, tracked, recorded, and scrutinized by authorities."

Marines launched a ‘kamikaze’ drone from an Osprey aircraft
By Dan Lamothe April 17 at 11:02 AM
Picture this: U.S. Marines are in the middle of a helicopter raid and about to land infantrymen on the ground. However, they’re taking gunfire from an armed insurgent shooting from a well-covered position, and there’s no easy way to get him.
The Americans could open up in a situation like this with large guns and missiles from a helicopter gunship like the AH-1Z Viper, a new, souped-up version of the Super Cobra the Marines have flown for years. But they’re experimenting with another option: Flying a kamikaze drone armed with explosives from the back of an MV-22 Osprey aircraft, and directing it right into the insurgent’s fighting hole.
