Drones: legality & morality
I'm bringing over Vlad's post from the other thread so as not to hijack. Hope he doesn't mind.

And the second point I guess relates to one's particular level of trust in the government. Do I think drones may be used to indiscriminately murder people who are not terrorists? Honestly I think the likelihood is low mostly because I don't have faith that people are particularly good at covering up massive scandals of that nature. Could they be used for selective political executions? Possibly? Other things like espionage? Possibly. But truthfully I think those things happen in any event. It's not as if a "but for the drone..." argument here holds water. My main interest here is in the alternatives proposed by people who are strongly against drones. |

I was hoping this would've been a more enjoyable matured thread about the legality of personal drones and UAVs.
I gots me a pretty nice Phantom. Shoots pretty great video. No predator missiles though. |

We will remember these early days of drones as innocent and naive.
10, 15, 20 years down the road for sure. |

There is a lot of drone activity in the US-Mexico border by drug traffickers who want to smuggle drugs past the border or transport cash to Mexico through the border.
I believe these drug traffickers using drones do their job more effectively than the government. |

That is my thinking, how can it be ok for the USA and not other countries. And it seems for the USA it is used only on extreme Muslins. Turkey, Putin, perhaps France will start using drone kills on terrorists.
Also, I just read they will be coming out a drone that can go 85 mph and carry an iPhone for filming. $1200. How big of an explosion with semtem the size of a cell phone. 10, 20,30 of these drones zooming into an event, what could stop them. |

Well, the biggest reason why it's not the same thing is because we don't want another county's bloody illegitimate politics on our doorstep.
__________________When we fuck with another country's politics, we do it covertly. When we kill people with predator drones, it's usually because that country doesn't have the grasp on the region in which we are targeting. |
