Controversial Arizona Sheriff Wants Unmanned Drones to Find Drug Dealers
If controversial Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona gets his way, unmanned drones will be patrolling Maricopa County in search of drug dealers and other scofflaws, News 92 FM reports.
Arpaio, who is a lightening rod on immigration issues, said the idea is to help Border Patrol locate undocumented immigrants and drug dealers.
“We have danger out there. We have dope peddlers shooting each other and I have my deputies to worry about,” he told News 92.
The ACLU expressed concerns, saying drones are an invasion of privacy because they put “everyone else who happens to be nearby underneath the drone as it travels to the target area.”
