promotional video for DHS funded drone

HI all

Sry if this has been posted I didnt see it

This is a promo video for a DHS funded drone being purchased by law enforcement agencies across the country.

The video shows two men driving to meet in a remote area, before they exit their vehicles and conduct a transaction for a handgun and a semi-automatic rifle, before driving off at high speed.

During the commentary role players run the license plates of both vehicles before describing the transaction as the spy drone hovers above.

Throughout the clip, the private sale of firearms is demonized by clearly being associated with illegal activity, despite the fact that it is completely lawful to sell firearms privately with no paperwork or background checks, including at gun shows


This is the Shadowhawk drone, a 50lb mini helicopter that can be fitted with an XREP taser with the ability to fire four barbed electrodes that can be shot to a distance of 100 feet, delivering “neuromuscular incapacitation” to the victim. The drone can travel at a top speed of 70MPH and can operate for 3.5 hours over land and sea. The drone, which can also be armed with 12-gauge shotguns and grenade launchers

These drones really take some good footage and Im afraid there gonna be everywhere

The promotional video for a surveillance drone now being purchased by law enforcement bodies across the country with the aid of DHS funding shows a UAV spying on a private gun sale, falsely depicting the scenario as a criminal activity.

Not to mention (actually yes I will) the other stupid point - that the drone is clearly only at treetop level, and would be plainly obviously apparent to anyone doing anything naughty.

This Video Clearly Shows why Drones are Wrong for the US.

The Drones take away our Legal system, by assuming what they are doing is Illegal, without no other Evidence that the Pictures shown.

No more "innocent till proven guilty', No more "expectation of Privacy".

What is happening in the Vid could be anything from returning a Borrowed gun, to a legal gun purchase, to two friends planning a trip to a gun range. and many other probable circumstances.

Nothing Illegal is Proven, but the Assumption of Wrong Doing.

Seriously. If they were conducting illegal business anyway, they might as well have shot it down....
