    Remember everyone they have technology to manipulate and even put crap in your phones to make you look like a criminal. Their favorite saying we can convect a ham sandwich.

    All American supplier?…. funded by CCP??



  3. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:23 am

    Please use ALOT of drones and robots to clean up America and our borders. ASAP.



  4. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:25 am

    If what’s in place is causing everything to go wrong, we need to use others tactics.



  5. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:27 am

    If law enforcement drones are always monitoring everything everywhere all the time they could react immediately to any crimes criminals or emergencies.



  6. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:28 am

    Drones should only be legal for cops and the military.



  7. Lycan247 on October 16, 2021 at 10:29 am

    They put out rules to make it harder for the public, meanwhile your dollars go to watching over you. This guy said its like police body cams. In no way is it like body cams smh, i wish his mic went out completely.



  8. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:29 am

    Please make and use ALOT of drones and robots to clean up America and our borders. It would help greatly to have 10’s of thousands of drones. Getting every single criminal.



  9. Locq Fortune on October 16, 2021 at 10:29 am

    America, you have the right to be followed. You have a right to give up every freedom your founding fathers died for… You have the right to just sit around and let it happen…



  10. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:30 am

    1 or 2 is ok, but hundreds or thousands would clean up America pretty quickly.



  11. Tony Igwe on October 16, 2021 at 10:32 am

    These companies are luring the police into a fascist state in which they are insiders. They will start arming them too, or may have done so already.



  12. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:32 am

    Haters just keep erasing my posts. You afraid of peoples reactions? Why? I talk about this stuff ALOT with people. Most people like and love this idea.



  13. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:33 am

    We need to have hundreds of thousands of law enforcement drones and robots or more. Probably more. All over America. They could react to crimes criminals and emergencies.



  14. Narlsz on October 16, 2021 at 10:33 am

    no more looting i guess lol



  15. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:33 am

    When we have the answers to all our issues and we don’t use it, that’s messed up. And very frustrating to know we don’t have to suffer the ways we do it any other ways.



  16. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:34 am

    Fearful people are holding us back from law enforcement drone use and other modern technologies use. But using what we already have would help humanity greatly. The good side.



  17. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:34 am

    People monitoring videos would have to see phycologists to deal with the weird stuff they see all the time.😵



  18. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:37 am

    I’d love to live in a world where all of humanities wants and needs are all met using mostly modern tech. Super security in many ways and from many angles at the same time.



  19. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:39 am

    If you make a city full of the latest modern tech, me and many others would move there right away.😎👍



  20. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:40 am

    Set up fail safes inside the drone that can be activated by law enforcement, if the drone malfunctions.



  21. Chris Mullin on October 16, 2021 at 10:40 am

    Sounds like everyone needs that new Israeli auto-aim system for their security devices!



  22. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:44 am

    Yes. They are amazing and would help us guard and clean up America and our borders in a shorter amount of time.



  23. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:46 am

    The video should be used. It’s pure evidence that can be analyzed from multiple views.



  24. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:46 am

    With the tech we have today, we could have super security, no more money needed, and everything we would ever want. Why does the government want bad things to happen?



  25. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:47 am

    If law enforcement drones and robots are always monitoring everything everywhere all the time they could react immediately to any crimes criminals or emergencies.



  26. Crazy Change on October 16, 2021 at 10:49 am

    Stealing the people right to fly is a fawken crime. We need fair law for the people not for the government.



  27. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:49 am

    If there’s ALOT more drones and robots that is.



  28. Alex Alverez on October 16, 2021 at 10:51 am

    I hope no one trust the govt to have more of a gods eye view on “the common rabble”



  29. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:51 am

    Law enforcement drones could charge on top of all or most poles and buildings. Have a thick bullet proof glass cover for while they are charging so they are protected from weather and criminals.



  30. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:53 am

    Imagine an America where no criminals get past one crime. And getting rid of ALL current criminals. They couldn’t hide anywhere.



  31. dave fellhoelter on October 16, 2021 at 10:55 am

    A family member recovered a stolen vehicle in less than 2 hours with a local PD’s use of equipment, cameras and Lic plate read tech!
    This is real it is Now! and I find it Un Nerving!



  32. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:55 am

    Make 10’s of thousands of big and small drones and robots. Not one criminal would escape. NOT ONE.



  33. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 10:56 am

    With everywhere being constantly monitored, people could be truly safe.



  34. G-Style on October 16, 2021 at 11:02 am

    hopefully these drones don’t have any Chinese microchips or parts in them



  35. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 11:02 am

    Well. We need school books and we definitely need all of America’s schools and everywhere else to be monitored all the time. Drones and robots would help take care of ALL the criminal’s in a shorter amount of time. Please do this for humanity.



  36. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 11:03 am

    Not one criminal would escape. NOT ONE!!



  37. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 11:03 am

    It’s like watching a 3 year old with the answer to their problem in their hands. It’s right there. Just use it correctly.



  38. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 11:04 am

    If you’re worried, what are you hiding? If you’re obeying the law, you should be fine.



  39. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 11:07 am

    Law enforcement drones would have evidence available for every incident. 👍👍👍👍👍🍾🥂



  40. Aaron of America First and Patriotic Parents. on October 16, 2021 at 11:09 am

    Democrat police state agenda. Republicans are more for Constitutional Privacy called the 4th Amendment. minus the rhinos..



  41. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 11:10 am

    But they are and will be highly useful.



  42. Great Sol on October 16, 2021 at 11:11 am

    Of course there’s no room for abuse whatsoever.
    Said Nobody.



  43. Real Talk Network on October 16, 2021 at 11:12 am

    I wonder, bird shot or double or triple 00 buck is what I should use.



  44. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 11:13 am

    I wouldn’t mind being constantly monitored. But if I’m doing something weird but not illegal, it’s on you to look away.😄



  45. Little_melancholia ! on October 16, 2021 at 11:14 am

    So they can illegally spy on people



  46. Ricky Tavix on October 16, 2021 at 11:15 am

    Haha Half Life 2 was right



  47. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 11:15 am

    Yes. It should be allowed. The video would be proof.



  48. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 11:16 am

    You may think AI is just a robot, but they are deeply thinking beings we made. Treat them with care and respect. As you would a human being.



  49. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 11:17 am

    Make and use multiple deterants and a ticket machine for lesser crimes.



  50. Casey Ford on October 16, 2021 at 11:17 am

    I’m highly considering moving to anywhere that has drones for security.
