Predator Drones Over LA: Military Surveillance or Overzealous Policing?
Flying Predator drones over Los Angeles? It’s not a sci-fi movie—it’s real life! Amid LA protests, the CBP confirms aerial support using these military-grade UAVs. So, if you spot a “bird” with a camera, don’t smile; you’re probably already on its close-up reel. Welcome to surveillance with a side of popcorn!
Hot Take:
Big Brother’s got a new toy, and it’s not a cuddly action figure. The skies over LA are now the playground for Predator drones, the kind usually reserved for military missions, not traffic updates. If you’ve ever wanted to be a star on a grainy, high-altitude reality show, now’s your chance! Forget Hollywood; the real action is happening above your heads, courtesy of Uncle Sam’s flying eye-in-the-sky!
Key Points:
- Predator drones are being deployed over Los Angeles for aerial surveillance during protests.
- Drones are usually military-grade and are now assisting federal agencies like ICE in LA.
- CBP claims drones provide “situational awareness” and “officer safety support.”
- The deployment is part of a broader pattern of federal involvement in local matters.
- Critics warn of the potential normalization of military tech use on civilians.
