EDITOR, The Tribune.

Not that the $17m wroth of 55 drones might assist the police the public needs some re-assurances as to how these drones will operate and an assurance that our privacy will not unless they, the police have a Magistrate’s Order, be abused.

1) Can the drone possibly be equipped with strong listening devices hover over private property and record conversations taking place inside the home or in the yard?

2) Can the drone fly over the space over ones private home take photographs? Maybe taking video of legal activities in your yard around a pool, say home owners skinny dipping in their privacy?

3) What if there is abuse of the RBPF-RBDF - Immigration can the public sue for damages? Can the public if suspect of Law Enforcement recording or taking photographs require a copy of the material…video or tape? I cannot be refused.

Just thinking how these 55 drones will be operated? An incident is called in at Fox Hill… nearest drone say South Beach… will the officer in charge immediately send up a drone or…what is the use after the crime…criminals left the scene. At every murder Police ask us for help?

This Minister likes toys…now 55 drones - $17m.
