Connecticut lawmakers are considering whether the state should become the first in the country to allow police to use drones outfitted with deadly weapons, a proposal immediately met with concern by civil rights and liberties advocates.
The bill would ban the use of weaponized drones, but exempt police. Details on how law enforcement could use drones with weapons would be spelled out in new rules to be developed by the state Police Officer Standards and Training Council. Officers also would have to receive training before being allowed to use drones with weapons.
"Obviously this is for very limited circumstances," said Republican state Sen. John Kissel, of Enfield, co-chairman of the Judiciary Committee that approved the measure Wednesday and sent it to the House of Representatives. "We can certainly envision some incident on some campus or someplace where someone is a rogue shooter or someone was kidnapped and you try to blow out a tire

Is blowing one up the same as assaulting a police officer?

I love this mentality. It just oozes liberty and freedom.

During the police shootings in Texas, did they not strap a bomb on a drone and walk/roll it into where the suspect was hiding and detonate it?

Or the better question- how can a robot justify use of force when it can't feel like it's life is in danger?
How could an operator justify use of force when his life is clearly not in danger?

Liberty and Freedom are overrated. Safety is where it's at.

They did. That's a far cry from a drone flying far above the populace and taking out "criminals" as they see fit.

Yeah, police never make mistakes.
Once they have no skin in the game, i.e. no possibility of physical harm, you're going to see them using these drones in exponentially increasing numbers. They'll become lazy and unaccountable.

Freedom isn't free bro, some times it has to be protected by nightmare robots.
