SOUTH Australian police will use sophisticated remote-controlled drones to spy on suspects as it takes the war on crime to new heights.

The stealthy miniature unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will be equipped with still, video, and infra-red cameras.

SAPOL will open a tender process to purchase four "off the shelf" commercial quadcopters that could be used to spy on bikie fortresses, find drug crops, and to gather intelligence without putting officers at risk.

Civil libertarians have protested the use of such devices saying they effectively mount to 'Big Brother in the sky' and could be used to monitor law abiding citizens in situations such as political protests.

^if you truly are inside the tesseract, you can easily elude the drones.
 
That is crazy, wonder if they are used in the U. S. yet? Could be a good thing though, if someone who is innocent needs a witness!

It's not like spy drones are new to Aus, it's just the police are admitted to using them.

From the same article:
About 34 organisations across Australia are certified to use drones for activities including aerial photography, surveying and power line inspection.
