Unmanned Drones Over LA  The LA County Sheriff's department is
taking a page from the military and sending unmanned drones over
the streets of LA. These drones are much lighter and cost a lot
less than military ones, and is only going to be used for
looking for lost kids and hikers along with scouting for break-
ins. Each drone will be $20,000 to $30,000, compared to a police
helicopter, which goes up into the millions when you account for
fuel, training, and maintenance.  Privacy proponents are
concerned with the evidence gathered by the drone being used in
subsequent trials, and whether they will violate any privacy
rights. Either way, we think people would much prefer an eye in
the sky solution than being roughed up by Vic Mackey.  Drones
