Constitutionality Of Drones

Improved Essays
You said that you have an issue with the Constitutionality of taking someone out with a drone. Drones are not mentioned in the constitution and even if they were, it would not matter. The reason it would not matter is because it was a Robot, not a Drone.
-----
Not only was the Robot specifically built for situations like that, but they have continuously been used for decades now, in order to help save the lives of not only the police but anyone else in danger.

    In his essay “In Defense of Drones: a historical argument,” David Bell defends the use of drones as a weapon from critics that doubt the moral and political implications of war “waged by one side without risk to the life and limb of its combatants.” Bell’s creates his arguments using comparisons, quotes, and facts. Bell’s first argument addresses the concern of drones “radically change[ing] the political dynamics of warfare” by comparing the purpose of drones to that of past weaponry. He states that the motivation of innovation in military technology has been, and still is, to “take out one’s enemies from a safe distance.”…

    Merideth's Drones

    The recent actions of David Boggs filing a federal complaint of his drone being shot down by his neighbor Mr. Merideth is starting an intriguing process of determining legal code in the United States. The main question, what should the relationship be between drones and private property? Whatever the district court’s decision is, the case will undoubtingly become a precedent for future cases revolving around unmanned vehicles and private property. It will be interesting to see how exactly this case is to be conducted. Since a crucial part of the argument rests in how far the drone was above Mr. Merideth’s property, it seems that creating a set range of how far a drone could operate from an individual’s property would raise a whole hoax of questions.…

    In “Drones” and the Future of Domestic Aviation, author John Villasenor, of the University of California Los Angeles, discusses Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), more colloquially known as “drones.” In particular, he describes the precarious ethical and legal issues drones present to society in the face of their increasingly rapid development. Initially, the author gives a brief, but detailed description of the advancement of unmanned aviation technology, including the vast numbers of applications, from both a domestic and government standpoint. For example, he describes that drones could be used to track and monitor wildfires, provide relief support and search for survivors during disasters, or even simpler things such as film making (Villasenor,…

    The Ethics surrounding drone warfare has been a controversial debate that has not yet captured the full attention of the public in the west. The main arguments for using drone warfare has been about saving lives and cost, but such argument pales in comparison to the arguments against it. To examine the counter arguments of why drone warfare is ethically wrong, we must look at the political stance of the governments using drone warfare, the society’s responsibility, the ethics of the way that the drone strikes are conducted, the effectiveness of drone warfare and the international irresponsibility and unethical nature of drone strikes. Drone warfare saves the lives of soldiers by placing them out of harms way; this is one of the arguments for…

    In Silicon Valley, California a massive improvement in crime fighting in taking place in the form of a security guard robot named K5 that was designed by a company named Knightscope. The video on business insider demonstrated just what this bit is capable of when it comes to its crime reducing abilities. One of the most positive actions performed by K5 was when it was shown to be able to detect things like theft and violence and contact the authorities as soon as it detected one of those instances. This is positive for a couple of reasons, the first one being that these robots provide more “eyes” to detect crime instead of just relying on people who may not always be on the alert and as such would not be able to detect any criminal activity as well as these robots can.…

    Those who are sceptical about the drones and other autonomous weapons can also make an argument against it using fairness. As drones are operated from a different continent, the operator is not risking his or her own life; the only risk is the risk of losing or destroying the drone. It may be unfair, because the people on the armed conflict territories risk their lives so it is unfair to them. Additionally, more developed countries have more choice of weapons, which may be also much more advanced than the weapons available, for example in Pakistan. Pakistan is poorer country than the U.S. so their means to defend themselves are weaker comparing to the means of the attackers with hundreds of drones loaded with the newest technology and sensors available all around the world.…

    Those in favor of drones argue that drone will benefit the community. “ The mission is to have just a few officers being able to cover arguable the entire city wherever there 's a camera and redirect resources-police on the street- to areas where they are needed as opposed to having to blanket the street with officers” (Talai, 2014, p. 5). The fear that most community members have is giving the police the ability to track down their every move without them knowing it. The officers need for discretion in these types of situations are being criticized because many believe that their fourth Amendment are being violated. “Drone surveillance is yet another tool in the arsenal of police discretion, including surveillance arrest [detention and] incarceration, and…

    A drone is any unmanned aircraft that one can program or they can be autonomous. These robots often use GPS technology to be more accurate when preforming a task. Additionally, in most states an individual must receive a certificate of authorization from the FAA before using drones for any purpose other than recreational. The Federal Government uses drones to make citizens lives safer and easier by monitoring wild fires, supporting law enforcement, and training the military. However, the demand for consumer drones is increasing rapidly due to the FAA Modernization and Reform act, which is a four-year plan to introduce new aviation technology into our government, causes many people to question the drone’s nature within our country (FAA Modernization…
