Utah Lawmakers: Ban Domestic Drone Surveillance in Utah

Stop the Department of Homeland Security, and all other domestic intelligence and law enforcement agencies from employing drone technology and tactics on citizens of the State of Utah.

Why is this important?

The imminent importation of drone tactics from the war on terror into the U.S.A. is the most perilous development in the world of civil liberties. When combined with high-definition cameras, facial recognition technology, infrared technology that can see through walls, or cellphone interception technology, surveillance drones pose a very real threat to a citizen's civil liberties and rights of personal privacy. Domestic intelligence and law enforcement agencies have no business spying on us in our own backyards. Now is the time to oppose the Dept. of Homeland Security and any other agencies involved in these activities.
