They have been using police helicopters ever since I can
remember. What is the big deal?

Police helicopters only go up into the air AFTER (or WHILE) a crime
is in progress - to support ground operations.

Remotely-controlled drones will be used (mostly) to snoop around and
look for evidence of criminal activity.


Well I am not a criminal, so have no problem with that.

Seems that a lot of Germans said something similar to the Gestapo

Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was
not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I
was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
