Congressional alumni of Ivy League schools are bringing down their school's reputations. I wonder if Harvard Law is proud of Teddy.

Research conducted at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health detected significant levels of metals in the blood and urine among marijuana users, concluding that marijuana may be an important and under-recognized source of lead and cadmium exposure.

Thats a huge invasion of privacy!Only over black neighborhoods, the well-connected and well off won't see them over their parties! Billionaires by the pool snorting cocaine off the thighs of hookers, need have no fear.
Having a system that could triangulate the sound of gunfire and having drones stationed around the city launch automatically and zoom quickly to the location might be useful though. With a 3X in battery power in the coming years they will have 3 times the endurance.
New York police will use drones to monitor backyard parties this weekend, spurring privacy concerns
Those attending outdoor parties or barbecues in New York City this weekend may find an uninvited guest looming over their festivities: a police drone.apnews.com

Have one with a big yellow lettered FBI on the bottom and harass proud boys and other paranoid right wingers for shits and giggles, they will see it hovering every now and again whenever they show up at a gay pride event and at their house... Start rumors about it and the "deep state" on their social media...
Yer not doing anything illegal and when the FBI show up offer to share the footage and tell them it helps keep the assholes in line and on their toes...

A drone popping up and surveilling my property without a warrant is unauthorized entry in my eyes. I sympathize with Med’s sentiment, but the cops will have the laws suitably modified to somehow make this bullshit kosher. The ballistic solution will be some new class of felony no doubt.
Delighting in its being used on genuine subversive elements carries far less weight than the violation of principle such conduct entails.

It wouldn't work with id in the sky anyway, they could just point a cellphone at ya and get the info on the screen and that is being introduced by the FAA. I believe overflying private property is allowed, but certain rules have to be followed like in Canada, the rules are pretty uniform from Canada, America and the EU. You are not allowed to shoot down drones and they must be at a minimum altitude when over flying buildings and fly no closer to one horizontally than 150 feet. No overflying people either unless you have an approved drone and a professional license. Small drones and RC planes under 250 grams AUW need no license or registration in Canada, and you can't fly above 400 feet AGL anywhere.

What exactly does that mean? I've taken mine up to 500m and that's as high as it will let me go and bitches about that. Just warns me that I'm on my own if I get in trouble for it.
AGL - Above Ground Level? You can tell I haven't started the flight training course I signed up for yet eh.
I tried out hand launching and landing and that worked great.

A drive to stop people fleeing northwards has forced migrants to even riskier routes. No one knows the death toll, but one survivor tells how five people died of thirst next to him

They looked for that. I don’t think it’s China. I think it’s local money trying to turn much money into very much money, and to build a totalibertarian dream world; no poor allowed and damn the environment. Arbeit macht frei.
The trick of paying threefold to secure title of the land — and then sue the sellers for price fixing — is capitalist skulduggery worthy of the pirate capitalists of the late 19th century: the robber barons of rail, steel and energy. Bastards. Then and now.
