Texas County To Begin Drone Surveillance; May Have "non-lethal" weaponry
As a Texas sheriff prepares to use an unmanned drone as his force’s eye in the sky, and perhaps even arm it with nonlethal weapons like Tasers and rubber bullets, civil liberties groups are crying foul.
In the coming weeks, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office north of Houston says it will deploy a $300,000 ShadowHawk drone — bought with a federal homeland security grant — to spy on criminals, support SWAT operations and look for missing persons. The unmanned helicopter is about the size of a large dog, has a range of 25 miles.
“Drones are coming to America, to a police department near you,” said Kirsten Bokenkamp, with the Houston ACLU. “The biggest fear with domestic drones is the prospect of surveillance, the idea that Americans will simply be subject to surveillance by drones outdoors whenever they happen to go outside.”
Chief Deputy Randy McDaniel said the Montgomery County’s unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV, would only be deployed in instances when officers had probable cause to believe a crime was taking place.
While McDaniel said the department has no interest in loading lethal weapons systems onto its ShadowHawk, he said the sheriff’s office was open to the idea of adding non-lethal weapons like tear gas, rubber bullets or Taser-style rounds to the drone. “Those are things that law enforcement utilizes day in and day out and in certain situations it might be advantageous to have this type of system on the UAV,” he said.

The 'Homeland' gestapo intends to keep their 666 all-seeing-eye on the proletariat..and maybe a taser if some get out of line. Montgomery County Texans about to find out all about it. Be informed.
