North Dakota became the first US state to approve the police using drones that carry weapons such as rubber bullets, tear gas, pepper spray and tasers.
Lethal weapons are not allowed to be attached to the drones according to the bill. The original idea was for the drones to be focused on collecting evidence, according to Republican state Rep. Rick Becker.

He believed that “drones shouldn’t be weaponized, period.” Unfortunately, and surprisingly, the only way he could get the bill passed was to allow non-lethal weapons.
Why?
Because they were the amendments the law enforcement lobby asked for. However, at least lethal weapons were not added.
It’s important to remember that non-lethal weapons can still kill people, as 39 people in the US were killed by tasers in 2015.

They will be blown out of the sky if they are caught flying over my house!
Good. After January 20th, fly it over the white house and level it. Make sure the Orangutan is there

Has to be reversed and fast.
George Orwell just spun in his grave.
Of course it would be North Dakota with Standing Rock happening right now..
Looking at these riots we have had the past few years, drones armed with tear gas would have an effect without endangering a police officer’s life.
Armed with something stronger if used against a terrorist would likely have the same result.
Used against innocent civilians is where the paranoia sits in.
Let’s hope it never gets to the extreme of that.
Orwellian
Now it begins “Terminator “
And there will be one drone that errorly will atack people without cops knowlege….
They need to head on over to Portland an LA .

I’m going to guess they will be using it on peaceful water protectors since a lot of the police are starting to come to their senses and not wanting to defend big oil companies #waterislifeforeveryoneandthing
The police state is here and it’s about to get worse!
WTF !!!
That’s a whole nother mess. I saw the map of the path of the pipeline. It crosses the river near the Indian’s land, then crosses back across the river. Why they didn’t plan a route that just avoided the river all together, I have no idea.
