    Before the end of next year? Like maybe they’ll use police drones prowling streets to distract voters and get them to vote for republicans.

      Many departments already have drones with cameras, loudspeakers and thermal imaging. Currently mostly used for missing persons to scan large swaths of woodland quickly

        Yeah my hometown used them to find a guy that ran into the woods after being involved in a shooting.

        But I think RobotZap means a more dystopian use where drones essentially takeover the streets constantly patrolling to enact martial law by robots or something (getting terminator vibes).
