TYT: Drones Over America

[The Northerner]

"A majority of Americans support some civilian uses of unmanned drone aircraft but routine policing, such as watching for speeders, isn't among them, a new poll shows. The Monmouth University poll asked survey participants about four potential law enforcement uses of drones.

The vast majority of those polled, 80 percent, liked the idea of using drones to help with search and rescue missions. And 2 out of 3 respondents also supported their use to track down escaped criminals and control illegal immigration on the border.
