mnewbery Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Quote from youtube page Honeywell RQ-16A T-Hawk (for "Tarantula hawk", a wasp species) is a ducted fan VTOL micro UAV. Developed by Honeywell, it is suitable for backpack deployment and single-person operation. endquote Miame Dade PD (yes the ones from CSI Miami fame) have a certificate of authorisation from the FAA. They claim the drone is not set to record any surveillance video, infact "...the drone is set up to “clear [sic] the picture upon the next picture being captured.”". Plus Honeywell wrote on the back of the receipt "not for domestic spying" in red pen. ;) How long before a cop uses it to look in someone's bathroom window without the boss knowing? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/04/miami-dade-pd-releases-information-about-its-drone-program-will-faa-follow-suit
