Excuses, and you know it. The police helicopter is used as a tool of fear, an audible reminder for you to 'stay in line'. In my neighborhood we hear it once or twice a night, followed soon after by the invasive and probing light, but then again my neighborhood is working class, and we all know in working class areas what the police are truly there for: to protect the rich from the poor. To keep us in line. These drones will be no different, only they'll be silent, so 'you'll always be good' and you'll never know if they're watching or not. Drones, carte blance on search and arrest, detainment for unreasonable amounts of time without charge, cessation of internet access without proof only accusation, torture of young men and women, how do I not invoke Godwin with what's happening in the UK right now? How do I not make the parallels that are so bloody obvious to everyone?
