I have just heard a whisper that a drone is currently conducting grid searches in North East Victoria looking for the father and son fugitives.

 

Nothing confirmed though.

Sorry to disappoint, that was me up for a LAF yesterday. The only drone flying up this way takes aerials for real estate.

 

BTW, the police "have had them surrounded" T least 6 times this week. I suspect they have no real idea where these two are. Probably out of practice when it comes to catching crooks as most of their time is spent writing infringement notices

The person I heard this from works in a "specialised field" and they have never been wrong in the past.

 

But.... they could be wrong, but I doubt it as they know what there on about.

Either way the police need all the help they can get at present. It's a bit like the Keystone Cops !

More and more exotic drones are appearing in adverts etc. Anyone know how licencing/approvals work for autonomous or beyond visual range operations?

Just remember there got the defence force involved in this search.

 

So could be a defence drone.

I think it's getting a bit fanciful now. Won't be long and ASIO will be on the job.

 

Given that they don't know where these guys are I hope this top secret military drone has plenty of endurance.

 

I do happen to know the huge cost of keeping these things in the air so is not a cost effective way of searching for a couple of petty crims

Who said it is still doing it?

 

I said it was doing a grid search in North East Victoria (most likely just used to scan a small area with heavy terrain) it would have finished that and gone back to were it was borrowed from by now.

 

VICPOL don't own drones but NSW police have been trialling them for a year now and as there involved in the search it could be operated by them.

 

The Federal Police also operate long range drones.

Didn't think that was legal.....

Hmm ......Terrorists.....Ok.

 

Gunmen on the run...........maybe OK

 

Next? Ambushed after flipping the finger at a roadside speeding camera?

I think shooting at police with a high powered rifle is different to flipping the bird.

Yep, know all that. Still getting my head around the Chinese whispers that the military are utilising the expensive, combat drones searching for a couple of crims.

I never said that, I said "could be" and like you I think it is highly unlikely as well and more likely a small AFP drone.

Petty crims ? Attempt murder, just wondering what level of crime you would class as serious.

On our scale of "Victoria's Nasty Bastards" I don't think they rate high, maybe a 2 or 3

 

Haven't you seen Underbelly. Anyway, not our problem now as they were last seen heading your way.
