Guess we get to know first hand what it feels like to be in a Police State…
Video from Houston Channel 2, shows what the HPD (local police) and DHS do not want you to see. At the end, the spokesperson even says that.

Drone to Patrol Part of Border With Canada
By MONICA DAVEY December 7, 2008
FARGO, N.D. — Federal Customs and Border Protection authorities are preparing to launch unmanned aircraft patrols from this state, the first time such monitoring will occur along the nation’s northern border.
A Predator B aircraft, delivered to Grand Forks on Saturday, will make runs along the northern edge of North Dakota using sensors that can provide video and detect heat and changes to landscape, Customs and Border Protection officials said…
Similar aircraft have patrolled the nation’s southern border since 2005, where they have helped lead to the discovery of more than 18,000 pounds of marijuana and 4,000 illegal immigrants, a spokesman for the agency said. read full article…Drone to Patrol Part of Border With Canada – NYTimes.com.
Drones to detect illegal immigrants on land and water
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say they could eventually start patrolling the skies over Southern California with drone aircrafts, which are unmanned and unarmed, to detect drug traffickers, illegal immigrants and smugglers on the ground and in the water.
The drones will initially be used off the coast of Florida mostly to track down drug traffickers, said Juan Munoz-Torres, a spokesman for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Service. He said the drones can last a lot longer than some of the other aircraft they have right now patrolling the waters for drug traffickers.
The drones will first be deployed in Florida and Gulf Coast early next year. They could also be used in the Eastern Pacific region along the coast of Central America and Baja California by the summer of 2010.
“Eventually, we want to use the drones in Southern California to detect drug traffickers and illegal immigrants coming through the border,” Munoz-Torres said. That will, however, depend on the department’s priorities and budget, he said. read full article here…Drones to detect illegal immigrants on land and water | border, drones, immigrants – News – The Orange County Register.
