Marty Richman: “We have surveillance cameras everywhere and you have no expectation of privacy in a public place; however, drone systems can follow you around and eavesdrop with enhanced capabilities. This is going to keep the courts and a lot of lawyers busy for a very long time.”
Richard Place: “I think we have enough drones in government. We shouldn’t permit anymore.”
Jim West: “No! But then I don’t support the use of drones to watch U.S. citizens with warrants.”
Steve Staloch: “No. Without judicial process, the executive branch will essentially have the power to define privacy, and oversee the constitutionally guaranteed rights of freedom of assembly and association, as well as free speech. It’s Orwellian and patently unconstitutional.”
Mary Zanger: “No to the warrants and no to the drone surveillance of us. Do we live in a prison? Are we criminals? It is time to stop manufacturing fear. Why not use the money for something good like free college for all?”
Ruth Erickson: “The use of domestic drones makes one wonder how much privacy we really have, with Google Earth and other satellite imaging. Big Brother is watching. If drones are used for positive purposes or for our safety and security, such as for use along the U.S. borders, that could benefit us. There should be warrants before using drones domestically, so that we at least have some sense of our privacy!”
