police state spy drone

the empire and their dark sith lord have found the rebels once more !!!
Big Brother spy planes that track the Taliban may soon hover over your home
The Microdrone has been trialled by Merseyside police. The white top features GPS technology, which allows officers to navigate it. It contains a memory card to store recordings from several flights. Goggles enable officers to see exactly what the drone is filming.

Their use is likely to further fuel concerns about our march towards a Big Brother state.

Pilotless planes used to track the Taliban could soon be hovering over our streets, it has emerged.

Remote-controlled drones are already used widely by the military. Now ministers believe they are likely to become increasingly useful for police work.

Armed with heat-seeking cameras, the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles would hover hundreds of feet in the air, gathering intelligence and watching suspects.

In theory, their advantages are clear. They are cheaper and quieter than conventional helicopters, can circle their target for hours without refuelling and they dont get bored on long surveillance missions.

However, their use is likely to further fuel concerns about our march towards a Big Brother state. Britain already has more CCTV cameras than the rest of Europe put together.

More than four million closed-circuit TV cameras cover the streets; cars are monitored using cameras that check registration plates and a new law will see footage taken of shoppers buying alcohol.

The plan to deploy spy in the sky planes is outlined in the Home Offices latest Science and Innovation Strategy. It says: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are likely to be an increasingly useful tool for police in the future, potentially reducing the number of dangerous situations the police may have to enter and also providing evidence for prosecutions and support police operations in real time.

Two years ago, Tony McNulty, then a Home Office minister, acknowledged that scientists were exploring the use of UAV technology for a range of policing and security applications.

They could be used by MI5 to watch a suspects address for long periods or track a car for miles.

The drones could also help officers plan raids in locations that are hard to reach, to record and monitor accidents or to spot speeding offences or reckless or uninsured drivers.

Ministers are liaising with the Civil Aviation Authority about the introduction of UAVs, some of which measure as little as 2ft across.

But the document cautions: We need to investigate how such vehicles could be used, and their ability to provide high-quality evidence for convictions.

There are also safety concerns surrounding the planes. Those used by the military are prone to crashes on takeoff and landing. Many have been lost over battlefields.

A trial by Merseyside police, of £30,000 remote-controlled miniature helicopters with still, video or infra-red cameras, highlighted more mundane problems related to battery life and the effects of bad weather on flights.

Mark Wallace, of the Taxpayers Alliance, said: I think a lot of people would be concerned at the Home Office looking to use technology more generally associated with the tribal borders of Pakistan and the fight against terror over British towns to watch the British public.

It is not necessarily as glamorous or as high-tech, but a bobby snapping cuffs on a criminal is the most productive approach.

[Skytroop]

Its just an Osprey VStol Aircraft

[paranorma1palace]

its a remote controlled police surveillance drone, its about 1 metre diameter..read the info and google "merseyside police spy drone"

the first result will yield a picture of it on bbc news website with a policeman controlling it

[HoughMorris]

if u get caight shooting it down say u thought the ETs were coming and u tryed to save the mankind !

[paranorma1palace]

muhahahahahahahah

[HoughMorris]

get my air rifle son !

lmao

[GeneticallySuperior1]

No worries, there's counter technology that will drop these platforms out of the sky like a lead weight! They've already proved it in the middle east & it only costs around 50$ per unit to completely scramble the signal & make these pests drop!

[HardKnocks60]

Well, those damn drones have a camera.  If they fly up to me like that, I'd flip them off!!

[NwoResistanceChannel]

shoot that fuckin thing down!!!!! you bet your ass i would, i wonder how much trouble youd get into for that

[azapps]

@nilbud I'm not paranoid or fearful. These are the facts. Every major city across the US and Europe has cameras at street corners, on top of buildings, in most police cars, not to mention every person with a cell phone. There are already cameras watching us all the time. As far as drones and satellites go, do you think they can't see you on the ground? The issue is... There are cameras all over the place, but who cares. Don't shoot at them because that would be a crime.

[ripleymanwithscanner]

the video can intercepted its on 5.8ghz unencrypted

[Gorgo]

@nilbud ,Damn you are an idiot. I said they "Should Be". Not, "I am going to".

Besides that,They are not manned. Helicopters are. These drones are worse than anything George Orwell ever predicted in 1984.

These shouldn't even be flying around in the so-called LAND of the FREE and HOME of the BRAVE. Which has become Land of the Suckers, Home of the Enslaved.You don't Believe Chem-trails are real? I really feel sorry for you. Just wait and see what's coming,you are gonna Love it jackass.

[nilbud]

@Gorgo Why would you want to be prosecuted, have to pay the cost of replacement of the drone and be banned from owning firearms. Do you shoot at helicopters and roadsigns too?

You think chem trails are real, you insult.

[nilbud]

@azapps That's such paranoid horseshit. Keep living in american fear.

[nilbud]

@Skytroop You utter moron.

[azapps]

There are already cameras watching us all the time. The police don't go around watching people for no reason. They don't care about you unless you run a meth lab out of your house, and then they probably already have cameras watching you. There are drones too high up to see, but they can see you. Even the satellites can see you on a clear day. If you attempt to shoot it down, the police WILL come to get you. Do you soot at the police when they drive through your neighborhood?

@JustAnOrdinarySimmer

[Membrane556]

[JustAnOrdinarySimmer]

[JustAnOrdinarySimmer]

@FTMGMG187 surprised you aint been shot up yet

[Sir0Syler]

[Gorgo]

Someone have a gun or a way to hit the thing?? Blow it outta the sky!! All you gotta do is hit the blades and it's scrap. Gotta send a message, NO,NO, NO !!

[Legionaryb]

ENEMY UAV ABOVE!

Better equip Cold Blooded as one of my perks.

Either that or set UAV jammer as one of my killstreaks.

[jamesthq]

@paranorma1palace that is pretty cool though as long as they're not carrying hellfire missiles...lol just thought watching road wars on sky one and a police drone takes out the road ahead to allow the police move in for an arrest

[julioenvase]

que porra de video !

[mishimoskowitz]

keep posting...and keep waking people up! 5 stars!

[Bishop153]

This is getting out of control : /

[KillarBigT]

hahahahahaaha lol therhythmicmenace lol

sound the alarm :P

[cjellwood]

thats nothing! I just read that BAE are developing bigger drones for the police like the ones used in war zones to do constant public surveilance.

Ofcourse they say it is in response to public fear after the bombings in mumbai.

Anyone want to help me build a rocket to go to another planet?
