[tpntch]

Sherriff Dept. in Texas bought drone.

What's the background? Just to demo their new toy? It felt staged.

 

[fire259]

promotional video for a surveillance drone now being purchased by law enforcement bodies across the country with the aid of DHS funding shows a UAV spying on a private gun sale.

It's definitely staged, who does a FTF transaction in the middle of a field? And why would you not perform a functions check if you're purchasing a weapon?

 

[Classic]

Probably a realistic demo even if staged. Anyone who believes local LEOs won't use them to spy on citizens should be looking for a bridge to by in NYC.

This is how they gain support for drones in American airspace. After all they are saving us from those evil private gun sales!

 

[DungeonCrawl]

Probably staged but definitely a promo video to increase state side drone sales.

Looked like an SBR to me.

It did feel staged though.

The punt gun will stop the drone

Where is the fail bear?

This is totally staged.

I work for the ANG in Terre Haute and we work with drones.

First of all the camera quality sucks, who ever is talking is not apart of some militry service.

Plus notice the man said "assualt weapon" like he is trying to get a reaction of people. He also says "Uhh there seems to be an optic and flashlight".....

And the tree limbs are right next to the camera lense.

I mean really haha

You know, I have really been contemplating model aircraft, those big scales, not the dinky ones. Maybe a few reproductions of the Jap Zero Kamikazee to patrol my airspace. I would hate to build a Grumman Bearcat and lose it.

No concern, It's just one of Holder's boys trying to sell guns across the border :P

 

[buckstopshere]

This is exactly how I sell guns ftf. I always look as suspicious as possible and go to a field in the middle of no where. I also like to use the Vanna White arm move when modeling my assault weapons.

Oh yeah, Texas is so awesome for gun rights, nobody does it better than those freedom loving texans!

 

[yepthatsme]

Do you think that the drone automatically adds the intense music as well? Nice effect.

 

[RabbleRouser]

did he give him all his money, wallet and all?

 

[raider600]

The only thing cool about this video is the Cadillac CTS-V

 

[Hohn]

Is it likely that the company selling the drones thought of the utility for spying on private citizens doing a private transaction but that the government would NEVER think of such a use?

Seems unlikely to me.

[Tin Cup]

Had to be staged. All of the criminal deals i have seen involve someone flashing there lights so the other party knows the "deal is on" haha

But then again maybe that is just movies and TV lying to me.

 

[Hammerhead]

Plus, the guy driving the Caddy wearing a trench coat or duster buttoned up fully, and giving that field a yard job.

Wouldn't the drone be noticed at a gun show? Not sure how you could hide it unless you used one of the little dragon fly ones.
