Maryland police are using drones from a Chinese company that were banned in four states::One Maryland officer told a local news station that they have searched for other manufacturers of drones and none live up to the quality of DJI.

Interesting that there's more outrage in the media at the UAVs being Chinese, than there is at the police using UAVs to spy on people.

I mean...if you think that UAVs will help police spy on you then you're just paranoid. They don't have time for that, and even if they did they would just be more blatant since they have that right.
