Amazon, and other companies start using these drones on a regular basis. People will be shooting a heck of a lot more of them out the sky. lol

Last year a box-type drone flew about 500 ft above my head, if I had a gun with me at the time I would have shot that bastard down. That was the same night I witnessed at least 100 or so drones flying around the sky.




MOORE COUNTY, North Carolina (WTVD) -- The Moore County Sheriff's Office has a new tool. Three deputies are now trained and certified to fly a drone. It's a tool only a handful of other law enforcement agencies in the state have.

Sheriff Neil Godfrey says they're already making good use of the new addition.

"We almost had to use it yesterday morning a lady with Alzheimer's walked off and we were in the process of using a drone when we found her," said Godfrey.

The drone comes equipped with a high-definition camera, speeds of 45 miles per hour and the capability to fly 1000 feet in the air. Drones provide law enforcement with an extra set of eyes.
