> drones which are basically planes like to fly in a straight line and take very slow, wide turns
Obviously, not a pilot, are you? Large planes make slow, wide turns. Small planes can make very tight turns and circle in small areas. You also have altitude working in the planes favor... they can fly high and slow while using the camera to zoom in and track quickly moving/turning/evasive targets.

> they do not make tight fast turns at all, compared to a 737 yes, compared to a car, nope.
But you are forgetting that the turn a plane has to make follows an arc along the projection of a cone from the car, with a diameter based upon altitude. A quick turn from a car projects into a much slower turn for a plane to follow.
> Drones are designed to fly mainly by GPS
The ones that I have worked with used GPS to indicate position, but ground control was very much like a traditional aircraft instrumentation, including a stationary forward looking camera with pilots perspective. (I haven't worked with the modern drones, but was part of a design group in the early 90's that designed one of the first GPS guided "model" planes. At the time, there were only eight GPS satellites in orbit, to give you an idea of timing.)
Finally, if fixed wing drones are indeed too restrictive (they aren't, but pretend that they are), then there is no reason that rotary wing drones (helicopters) cannot be used instead.

> I thought the rotary wing drone program was scrapped because of noise, as the fixed wing drone noise emissions are very low.
Noise, compared to a helicopter, wouldn't be an issue (nor should it be) for civilian police use. Noise would actually be a good thing, in my opinion, as it would help prevent some of the abuses that people are rightly concerned about.
For military use, I suspect range and flight time more than noise to be the driving factor behind fixed wing. However, I haven't been involved in this type of research for a long, long time... and even then, my involvement was at the academic level, not the military level.

People need to worry less about the technology available, and more about the government's authority. Misused technology gets thrown out of court all the time for violating rights.
I only say this because the current drive in certain countries seems to be changing the laws and rights of the common person. If these rights are maintained and held to their ideal, no technology can violate them.
As for technology, the current ability is probably "more than you would like, but less than you fear".

whats needed for us black hats is something that can bring them down with an aim and a click
come on drug cartels...start spending good money countering these criminal gang in blues never ending tactics
random spotlights on infrared movement radars could blind them but theyll probably put in a bill making that illegal
