[quote:Anonymous Coward 22253274:MV8yMTEyNjUwXzM1NjE3ODE5XzIzQjc5RDg1] The U.S. Department of Defense is conducting drone operations from at least four sites in Florida, and it plans to add three more sites in the future, according to data gathered and released by the nonprofit Public Intelligence. The group released this week an interactive Google map that shows where the drones are being flown from and provides basic information, including the type of unmanned aerial vehicle. South Florida has three locations on the map: an Army base in Okeechobee; a Special Operations Command site in Homestead; and a Special Operations Command site in Key West. http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/2012/06/military_drones_florida.php The following map depicts the approximate locations of current and planned Department of Defense unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) activities inside the U.S. The locations, service branches, and types of UAS flown were obtained from several publicly released DoD presentations. If you are aware of other DoD drone activities in the U.S. not listed below, please let us know. http://publicintelligence.net/dod-us-drone-activities-map/ [/quote]
Original Message
A Florida Senate panel says police should be banned from using drones to spy on citizens.
A bill (SB 92) that would prohibit law enforcement agencies from gathering evidence or other information flew through the Criminal Justice Committee with a unanimous vote Tuesday.
The bill also includes an exception for terrorism-related searches.
That
is the weasel clause that will allow Washington over Florida sky. Does not Washington believe Americans who follow the Constitution terrorists?
Good for Florida.
