Lancaster to launch aerial radar surveillance over neighborhoods - latimes.com
The city of Lancaster plans to launch a new aerial surveillance system to monitor neighborhoods for crime.
The technology, called the Law Enforcement Aerial Platform System, will be attached to a piloted single-engine Cessna.
It's basically a radar system that will give deputies a bird's-eye view of what's happening on the ground.
The tool is similar to drones that are used by the military to survey war zones, with the difference that those are remote-controlled rather than attached to a plane.
Authorities say the technology will prove invaluable for the city because it's so large and spread out, and deputies can't be everywhere at once.
It could also help during natural disasters like fires or earthquakes by providing an aerial view of the situation.
We need an organized mooning...kiss my as. And I'll bet the neighborhoods under surveillance" don't include city hall where much of the crime is probably concentrated.
This is the sort of thing that I find troubling. No autocratic state can function without spies. These ones are simply electronic.
