All online. All the time.

What do they have to hide?

The drones have to go.

Those are two separate issues. I don’t really object to drones for police or civilian use … cheaper, safer, better. They can fly in weather that helicopters wont fly in. Do I really care that the police or traffic ‘copter is a real person flying it or someone back at the airport? At the same time I don’t need a thermal imaging system picking me up as I cut through the park (closed after dark) as I walk home. Maybe the drone should look at empty sky until a call comes in?

Someone needs to make the serious privacy argument separate from the safety argument.
