OS ANGELES (KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO) — As the Federal
Aviation Administration helps usher in an age of drones for U.S. law
enforcement agencies, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s)
domestically by the U.S. military — and the sharing of collected data
with police agencies — is raising its own concerns about possible
violations of privacy and Constitutional law, according to drone
critics.
A non-classified U.S. Air Force intelligence report obtained by KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO dated April 23, 2012, is helping fuel
concern that video and other data inadvertently captured by Air Force
drones already flying through some U.S. airspace, might end up in the
hands of federal or local law enforcement, doing an end-run around
normal procedures requiring police to obtain court issued warrants.
