The Eye in the Sky

The eye in the sky over your city will eventually be a drone.

Any government agency - such as your local police force - could loft a drone provided it did not weigh more than 4.4 pounds and was operated within line of sight, during the day and below 400 feet in altitude. The agency can launch the drone without much of a reason other than to spy on you. One would think that drones might be used to collect evidence on a specific crime. One would think that a warrant would be issued as some form of protection of people's privacy. One would think that these provisions of the Constitution can be discarded as the almighty drone will only be used for the good of the country. Of course, how that good is defined is the question.
