I think drones are a good idea, especailly if their target practice weapons firing ranges are in Washington D.C. Once the drone has qualified at the DC range, then it would be allowed to patrol other "civilized" areas.

Hey......picture this. Drones armed with heat seeking speeding tickets.

New traffic slogan: Newer be DUI when there maybe an armed Traffic Drone in the sky!

Now, can they be modified to do shoplifter duty in the malls?
