North Dakota Becomes First US State To Legalise Use Of Armed Drones By Police

• http://www.prisonplanet.com

Armed drones could be used by police in the US state of North Dakota after local lawmakers legalised their use.

While they will be limited to "less than lethal" weapons, tear gas, tasers, rubber bullets and pepper spray could all be used in theory by the remote controlled flying machines.

In a classic case of unintended consequences, the original sponsor, Republican state representative Rick Becker said he was unhappy with the way legislation turned out.

His original intention was to prevent law enforcement officials from using the unmanned aerial vehicles from conducting surveillance on private property without a warrant.
