While I can't say I'm happy about weaponized drones, at least North Dakota dodged this for the time being:
"[Sheriff] Rost said he needs to use drones for surveillance in order to obtain a warrant in the first place."
The more I read of drones in use for police situations, the more I feel like they simply make it too easy to invade situations that used to be comfortably private. "If you have nothing to hide" is always a horrible argument, and here I feel like it could have horrible consequences too.
