We done lost Mountain1! Shoot, there goes our resident expert on Government covert ops, The Constitution, & crimes against nature involving sheep! I know 'cuz he told me so himself!

I know what the Constitution is...a big 'ole sailing ship from the really old days!

Why, he even knew more about the law than Ken! I can see why the Federal Government might consider him a "target of opportunity!"

See what I mean? Nobody ever wants to explain this stuff to me! : (

Ken, these are very high-falluting ideas, they're afraid you won't understand.

We'll have to take it a little at a time, so where would you like to start.

How about, how my idea about paying taxes and voting won't fly, 'cuz of the 24th amendment and the 14th amendment?

Good point!
'Cuz I ain't sure that all the votes are coming from "people", here lately. (Last few years, or so...at least.)LOL

Question. Can they see anything with a "spy drone" that they couldn't otherwise see with a patrol car or helicopter?

I always ask myself about these things: "who's manning it and who's looking at the data?" It's not THE MAN. It's some poor 9-5 schlub like you and me who is likely underpaid and would love to make a fortune selling book rights and interivews to the press if something devious was actually taking place.

Depends on your definition of "more". Any arial reconnaissance has the capability of surveying a large amount of land based on the optics it is equipped with and distance it covers. A drone may be better equipped than a helicopter and be able to see more. It can definitely see more than a person on the ground. However, it's still line of sight. A satellite in space is also line of sight. If I'm growing pot in my backyard, no matter how they see it (foot patrol, helicopter, drone, satellite, google maps), I'm still going down with no legal recourse over invasion of privacy rights.
