Well, that is completely untrue. I honestly have no idea how the media get their information.
Police employ Predator drone spy planes on home front - Los Angeles Times
A slippery slope indeed, and what were all seeing is that slope being personified as a great and useful tool!They've been using drones for years now.
The Border Patrol has been flying them in California and Arizona along the borders.
Who wouldn't want one? I would.
Camera, shotgun and rocket mounted drones. I know - slippery slope but, have you seen how long the Mex border is?
If they used it right, it would slow the border crossings way down.
