The crazy thing is this: the current system does all it can to stifle this kind of innovation, and to limit competition.

I love the mortar round that hits the building around 1:30 - now the west will see exactly how merciless 'freedom and democracy' really can be! We can't have evil doers in the streets. The Deciders will have to save us!

I think a new market has just been discovered!

That is also awesome.

From the title I'm going to guess this was Poland or the vicinity.

If you did that in North America you'd most likely be arrested as a terrorist.

The FAA is even cracking down on R/C planes.

Yep - Poland. It's interesting to see the tactical maneuvers of the police. They've clearly isolated a segment of the crowd between two solid facades, to keep them from proceeding to the problem area.

They are allowing their reinforcements to pass down the block alongside the penned crowd. The penned crowd may not even be aware of the trouble down the street.

Whats awesome about this? Looks like off the shelf tech from 20 years ago. Becoming more common because the camera's are smaller/cheaper along with smaller control systems like stabilized video. I'll bet you tube has similar pics from 10 years ago?

First google page has the same kind of pics made in 2006. I don't think anybody is stifling this innovation, rather they are stifling the use of ANY documentation of government action. The ACLU needs to sue more people.



and for only $500 you can get a drone with camera that can be controlled by cell phone. Cheap, off the shelf==could even be what was used in the first clip? My own interest sparked by having a life long love of 2 man dirigibles. Even those could be controlled by the electronics package that is in these little toys. All you need is bigger servos. I also had an early interest in air to air combat with video equipped paint ball gun prop driven craft. Didn't have quite that much money to waste. Now, I don't have the driving interest. so little time.
