As a law enforcement officer I'm sure you can reassure everyone that our fears of abuse of authority are unfounded lol

Manned aircraft have been used for surveillance over private property for many years looking for things such as marijuana growing operations with little/no outcry from the public. Why does the lack of a living breathing pilot matter? Or just another lame excuse to blame Obama for something?

I can't think of an intelligent argument for reading or listening to Alex Jones.

Last summer old Alex was claiming there was a nuclear meltdown going on at the power plant in that same area. (due to flooding)

He generally starts with a kernel of truth, then makes huge leaps of assumption and innuendo.

So in this case, it's probably training flights or calibration of instruments and they don't give a crap about ranchers and they probably aren't EPA drones.

Oh well, at least he's making bank off of the gullible.

They've been using helicopters to follow criminals in cars, spot marijuana grows out in the back country etc. for 30 years.

Wrong also. Thanks for bringing that up.

And the difference between a drone and a piloted plane is one of accountability.
How often do you see Obama accused of murder after killing women and children with his drone attacks- "Hey man, I didnt fly the thing"

Can't rep ya or I would.

In fairness though, the AJ fans have blamed every president. Conspiracy guys tend to be non-partisan in their views of the gov.

For example, the whole FEMA camps\martial law to cancel the presidential election has been around since Clinton and pops up every 4 years like clockwork.

That's what happens when you're close minded, you just cant bare making an itelligent arguement. But for the sake of the topic, try.
