CCTV in the sky: police plan to use military-style spy drones

Let me be the first to say I'm proud of my country, the Netherlands, in which such a travesty would never occur.<p>Its citizens still hold the values of freedom of speech and thought close to heart and would never give them up for the illusion of safety. Politicians using rhetoric like "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" are laughed out of the country.

I'd be surprised if they weren't using them already in the UK under some classified program.

Depending on how technology costs come down, potentially cheaper than helicopters and maybe even patrol cars.
