Oh come on. Lets all jump on Hopechest's bandwagon. The drone wont kill him, don't be so ludicrous. It will merely impede him by firing Me To You bears and Hershey's Kisses. Well if they deploy the child friendly ones.

No one will react if this drone locates him and the force brings him in. It will be hailed as a wonderful tool. Then they will slowly become armed. I really wouldn't doubt if the public is apathetic if was shot down by a drone, I just think that is going to be done yet. But it will be done in the near future. This is gonna happen, armed drones against citizens, judge jury and executioner all rolled into one piece of " cheaper " technology coming to a town near you!

Air Force components may, at times, require newly collected or archived domestic imagery to perform certain missions. Domestic imagery is defined as any imagery collected by satellite (national or commercial) and airborne platforms that cover the land areas of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, and the territories and possessions of the US, to a 12 nautical mile seaward limit of these land areas.
9.6.2. Air Force Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operations, exercise and training missions will not conduct nonconsensual surveillance on specifically identified US persons, unless ex pressly approved by the Secretary of Defense, consistent with US law and regulations. Civil law enforcement agencies, such as the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the US Coast Guard, will control any such data collected.

I'm so forgetful, could you please remind what year they started arming helicopters and firing on US citizens? Surely if they are working on arming drones, then they have been using similar technology on other flying machines for decades, right?
I sure do wish folks would drop the BS, scaremongering, paranoid rhetoric. It's old, tired and outright false. Get over yourselves and your hope to make one accurate prediction out of your millions of failed attempts.

You know that police forces may upgrade their technology to save money in the long run and that's probably what they are doing by switching to drones.
YET
