Fly Your Own Spy Drone … For $300
The Parrot A.R. Drone can be launched and controlled with your iPhone or iPad:
The Parrot A.R. Drone costs $299.
The Parrot A.R. Drone can maintain stable flight at an altitude of up to 20 feet, and a maximum altitude of up to 160 feet.
More sophisticated drones can fly higher and for longer, in a more stable fashion.
For example, protesters in Warsaw used a spy drone last month to see what police were doing. As diydrones.com notes:
People tend to assume that UAVs will be used by the police to keep watch on us, but as ... video, taken by a RoboKopter of riots in Warsaw, shows, they can equally be used by citizens to keep tabs on the police. No need to wait for the local news to send a helicopter to get the aerial scene of a demonstration, just Do It Yourself!
Here is the video of the police shot by the Polish protesters:
(Here's what the RoboKopter drone used by the Polish protesters looks like.)
Drones can range from simple:
To advanced:

Disclaimer: We don't know whether there are any Department of Homeland Security, FAA or other regulations or laws prohibiting flying your own spy drone. Consult with a representative of all appropriate Federal, state, county and local agencies to determine whether or not you may fly your own drone.

Re-read what he said. This has nothing to do with freedom. Freedom speech is a spoon-fed bullshit for American masses to gain support for heinous military operations around the world. Gaddafi was a dictator and the Saudi king is not?? Stop acting like a world cop and everybody will love you, at least just as much as you love everyone else.
Yeah I am an Aussie, and back in 2000 I visited the USA for 3 months. Drove around in a van.
I was shocked at your Police overkill ( I got hassled a lot) also the homelessness, the shitty homes (Australian homes are the biggest in the world) the decay in New York Bridges buildings, Detroit etcs. How you need permits to camp etc.
I would think things are worse now. We don't have a Bill of Rights. We just vote the cunts out!
@ trav
That is the case in Peru. Their .gov basically leaves you alone. Unless of course you are a business, then they DO reach out and touch you, or better said, hit you up for money...
Wow Trav...
Totally agree
Those Asians are getting pretty good at this tech stuff.
Before you know it the Internet won't be safe to play on anymore...
wep, ha ha
Also, even larger versions of these drones could be weaponized. One would not only film the regime enforcers, but sanction them.
Even those drones can be weaponized. Ricin dust doesn't weigh much.
Actually, that is a really fucked up thing to post.If you are not a provocateur I suspect a surprise free vacation to Uzbekistan in your future.
Hell, they busted those old men in GA for talking about a ricin plot.That was before our fabulous new enabling act was passed.
Some things are not funny or appropriate.
You fucking moron. If I as a simple US Marine can think this shit up, the brainiac unit in a REAL terrorist cell is certainly going to come up with a similar or even more dangerous chemical agent to distribute.
You REALLY want something to worry about? Try weaponized smallpox out of these little bastards.
I don't think he was trying to be funny...simply pointing out that the potential to release bio weapons from such craft is a real possibility. I was thinking the same thing, and I wouldn't put it past TPTB should they get very desperate.
As far as what we post or don't post, I think that we are ALL "suspect" at some point in our posting.
All ZH posters to be rounded up, detained indefinitely under NDAA Sections 1031 and 1032, and the more offensive ones to be tortured and/or rendited (is that a word) as per Obama Administration (or Romney Administration, same diff) policy-of-the-day.

I once ate some Ricin-crispies at a Halloween party. Yummy.
Careful, mate, for you risk rendition and severe sanctioning just for making such comments. Thank you Obama/NDAA.
"But they hate us for our freedom". LOL
You first.
Don't use the word drone. Call it your R/C airplane hobby. People have been putting cameras in planes and rockets since I was a kid, long, long ago.
You found this article 'Dis' couraging, 'fearsome'? For who exactly?
"Drone, drone from Bahrain.
Where the loathesome old sociopaths play
With children so brown
except when turned inside out/upside down
then they're as red as in the US of A."
awwww,man, I was hoping it was a hack to take control of a Raptor and fly it!
That requires the possession of ancient Chinese secrets.
Such as copper nano tubes?
Get 10 DVD lazer's.
Focus them through a copper nano tube.
Place on cheap UAV, and light your cig from a 100 feet in the sky.
Its not a Death Star but could be a fun party trick.

Since it's untrue, do reckon it's safe to google it?
What do you mean it's untrue. I just burnt the neighbor's house down. LOL Good Stuff ZHers.
