Does the SPD Plan to Expand Its Drone Program?

If it can zap some stick up artist in the ass during a hold up, or use Sidewinder missiles on a meth lab...then buy more drones.

couldn't a couple 20 dollar remote control toy helicopters take one of those things down by "accident" ?

There are drones and there are drones. Could be a useful tool, a disastrous invasion of privacy or both. Details matter a lot. Thanks for keeping an eye on developments.

@1, 2, and (ugh, you again?) 3: You ding-dongs realize that drones operate at rather high altitudes, altitudes well out of reach of roman candles, slingshots, BB guns, and other silly things? Slap yourselves in the face for me, right now, since I can't do it.

I swear I'm not a conspiracy theory wacko, okay? But a friend of mine thinks he saw a drone flying over Mountlake Terrace last week, and another friend thinks they saw one flying down south near Tacoma. So I wondered if maybe someone was testing drones, since they've been talking about police departments buying them. Has anyone else seen one?

@7, BallardBimbo,
"I swear I'm not a conspiracy theory wacko, okay?"
No, but you are definitely in the zero-information stooge category, since at last count there are approximately 30,000 drones operational in the USA, which not only fly out of a number of bases for overseas locales, but operate internally.
