Flying Saucer Police Spy Camera Takes To The Skies ...
Battery-powered and with a range of more than 500 yards, the mini-helicopter can be flown by an officer on the ground wearing goggles which enable him to see what the camera is filming, or it can be put on autopilot and follow a programmed route.Welcome to the NWO .... welcome to 'Big Brother Britain' .... this is the latest ways and means to deprive the general public of the United Kingdom of their freedom ... a remote controlled surveillance helicopter to be operated by 'remote controlled' policemen! No seriously ... this device is real, it is out there now and it could be hovering over a town or a street in Liverpool. The good news is it won't be armed with speed cameras (not yet anyway) ... police are confident that this miniature remote- controlled helicopter will be an invaluable weapon in the war against wrongdoers. The Microdrone, measuring only 2ft between the tips of its eight rotor blades, was originally designed for military reconnaissance. Yeah right ...
The Daily Mail:
Business development manager Alistair Fox said:"We believe they are ideal for police use -they can be up in the air in just three minutes, they are relatively easy to fly, and they can provide high-quality images back to officers on the ground. They don't need clearance from the Civil Aviation Authority because as they weigh less than 7kg they are officially classified as toys." If the three-month, Home Office supported trial is considered a success, Merseyside hopes to buy more Microdrones, and other forces could follow suit.
