If you ask people whether they want weaponized drones patrolling their country they'll say "of course not." If you ask the same people whether they want themselves and their families most effectively protected from violent criminals or terrorists, they'll say "of course!" I'm not saying either reaction is unreasonable. I think this could be made tolerable but I have little confidence that it will be done in such a way. It's currently very difficult to have full transparency when police engage a subject, but because a drone is very computerized, that changes. Imagine if every time a drone engaged a suspect any details surrounding the situation were automatically put on a public website, available to be scrutinized. It could actually increase both transparency and public safety. Is that something police/govt would actually buy into? Probably not.
