A Texas sheriff's office confirms safety concerns about the spread of domestic drones
FRIDAY, DEC 7, 2012 01:06 PM PST
BY NATASHA LENNARD

In a recent investigative report by the Center for Responsive Politics and Hearst newspapers, the authors expressed concern that drones were being pushed into the domestic market before safety and ethics issues had been sufficiently addressed. Such fears played out when the first police department in the country to acquire an aerial drone crashed the $300,000 aircraft into its own SWAT team.

The Montgomery County sheriff’s office in Texas had planned a big photo opportunity with their newly acquired surveillance drone. It all went horrible wrong when, according to the Examiner, “[The] prototype drone was flying about 18 feet off the ground [and] it lost contact with the controller’s console on the ground. It’s designed to go into an auto shutdown mode … but when it was coming down, the drone crashed into the SWAT team’s armored vehicle.” (The SWAT team had suited up, armored vehicle on hand, for the purpose of the photo.)

“Not only did the drone fail, and not only did it crash, it literally crashed into the police. It’s no wonder we’re not able to find a video of this spectacular publicity failure,” noted Gizmodo.The CRP–Hearst report explicitly listed collisions as a concern insufficiently addressed by lawmakers in the so-called “drone caucus,” who have pushed an agenda to hurry drones into the hands of police departments and private corporations.

----

It's always disturbing when the pigs get a new toy and want to test it out on the population, but before they could even test it for themselves this happens. Hopefully next time they will crash one into their precinct building.

I wish I could have seen that. Still nice to know it happened even if I didn't get to watch.

If they ever use them here. I'll invent a new sport: throwing rocks at drones! I'm going to play it all day long. Or shooting at it with a paintball gun must be cool to

They probably destroyed or locked away the video recording. A shame really, I was looking forward to a "World's Dumbest Cops" spinoff of the criminal version.

Yeah, until they shoot back. Best to use directed energy, like microwaves. It's a tricky project to complete but you can turn a microwave oven plus a few other parts into a weapon that can disable electronics at about 50-100 ft. range

Well shit.

I guess Salon doesn't want people linking to individual articles. I copied the complete URL into the hyperlink box, but it redirects to their homepage. What a bunch of turds.

Thanks Synthe, I had no idea because it was just posted today on one of the news sites I frequent. Still, old news can be good news.

time and time again the origin of an article is Salon.com and the only other
sources for the article are blogs and nutter forums such as Ron Paul Forums
with all of them linking back to Salon... ie; this probably never happened
in even the remotest sense

I'm thinking it may not be the cops that are retarded
