    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.

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.…

    Drone Warfare: The United States and their Aggressive Drone Policy in Afghanistan The United States has shifted its military strategies for taking out foreign enemies by reducing the number of boots they put on the ground and increasing the use of unmanned aerial vehicles referred to as drones. The use of drones is effective at sparing the number of U.S. soldiers and pilots being sent to deal with terrorist organizations (Grayson 2016). However it is ineffective in reducing the number of civilians that are killed or wounded through the use of these counterinsurgency strategies (Khalili 2012). This essay argues that the current U.S. drone policy in the country of Afghanistan is too aggressive and is doing more harm than good.…
