Just this week, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department began
using a drone called SkySeer for rescue operations and
tracking "persons of interest" during foot pursuits.


The BoingBoing crew are looking more at the privacy/civil-rights side of
things, but the issue is significant whatever your perspective.

Cool. Cheaper than the helicopters they are using for this now.

And, let's face it -- we all know what most people's back yards look
