It's a wonder with the internet that we aren't a better informed population. You'd a thunk with all the ease and access to information crap like this wouldn't stand a chance. But, then again, just look at your inbox and ponder some of the stuff that ends up there.
Probably the only prescient quote in the article is the rancher saying:
“It is truly an invasion of privacy,” said Chuck Folken, who runs a farm and cattle feedlot in Leigh, Neb. Farmers worry about photos of private homes and back yards winding up in government files. “We don’t need our own government . . . flying over us, taking pictures of us, telling us what we’re doing wrong.”
Well Chuck, if you're doing something wrong, wouldn't you want to know about it ??? Oh yeah, oops, dumping manure in a public watershed or something contrary to the common good (as in General Welfare - from that Constitution, you know) could maybe getcha in trouble, eh ?
Then again, I guess it's ok if the police get to use 'em. The cattle (you define the word as you see fit) probably won't care.
