Police 'eye in the sky' catches speeding drivers

[Scuba_Steve]

Oh... and police are already testing drones, but I would guess it's more for dangerous hostage type scenarios, where they can have a look at the situation...

Yea thats the propaganda that'll be pushed to introduce it, once it's in however real world use may vary...

Police 'eye in the sky'....

Have a happy New year everyone

Knock, knock.

Hobbit.

Hobbit letting me in?

Sorry, I'll go stand in the corner

Wait until it's drones with laser.

Anytime anywhere, fly in close enough to capture the plate and the ticket is sent

They've had drones driving their cars for years.

So what are they testing them for now,,,,a sense of humour ?

Yeah, I heard they're going to use it in an attempt to circumnavigate Gerry Brownlee.

Did you ever see that thing about the University of Texas students who managed to hijack a civilian-type UAV and almost forced it to crash using a GPS device they built for about $1,000?

I'd imagine that military drones are a completely different story, but it seems like current generation civvie UAVs are actually really easy to hijack/jam.

First I've heard, but that sounds pretty damn awesome. Might as well hijack one of the UAVs and crash it into a mosque. That will teach them cheeky terrorists.

It's planely obvious there's an attempt to foil offenders via lofty means. Let's hope it doesn't drone on and on however.

All based on decisions made at high levels ... flying in the face of ridicule maybe.

What the hell ... we tax payers can afford it ... Oh wait ...

It's BS. Do you really think the police have the financial resources to send a plane up in the air all day. They do it in Arizona and California to scare drivers into slowing down.

They were doing it between warkworth and dorkland in the 80,s. Couple of lines painted on the road and a plane in the sky, and there would be a copper waitng for you at puhoi.
