Saw a piece last week and forgot to post here. Seems some European country is using drones to monitor people out breaking confinement and/or not observing social . They had a clip of it working and it made me think of a combo of Robocop and Blade Runner with the massive serious voice! It needs to have low level laser to get the attention of those that aren't responding. Thought you guys would like the new use.

I think that’s Chinese drones being used in 22 US states.

You could right on this one, too. I thought it was Europe. I see that Faux News reporting fears about the China drones stealing secrets.

Paranoia strikes deep

Into your life it will creep

It starts when your always afraid...

Not sure that I'm too concerned about the Chinese stealing secrets via drone. I am very concerned about our governments using them for surveillance on people without a warrant.

Uh-Oh! Bad news for drones that fly into controlled airspace.
US Navy

The USS Portland disabled a flying drone with a "solid state laser" in the Pacific Ocean.

Videos showed the Northrup Grumman-developed 150-kilowatt-class Laser Weapon System Demonstrator (LWSD) destroying the drone.
