Law enforcement agencies across the US are lining up to be among the first to use drones to serve and protect, but unmanned vehicles are likely to replace the traditional cop cruiser in just a few short years.
In places like California, Texas and Washington State, police officers in recent weeks have intensified their demands for surveillance drones, a necessary addition they say to their arsenal of tools to help thwart crime. The Federal Aviation Administration has yet to finalize plans to put drones in US airspace, but by the end of the decade as many as 30,000 UAVs are expected to be soaring through the sky.
By 2025, those drones are predicted to take the place of the police patrol car as unmanned vehicles operated by cops are being considered a likely inclusion on our roads of tomorrow.
Leading up to this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show, carmakers were asked to put together prototypes showing what they envision highway patrol vehicles to look like in the year 2025. The entries, from big manufacturers like BWM and Honda, are largely based on the still primitive drone technology that is used in military and surveillance missions overseas.
The car show’s organizers asked designers to develop a vehicle that “should empower highway patrol officers to meet new demands and effectively both ‘protect and serve’ the public while considering not just enforcement needs but emission concerns, population growth and transportation infrastructure.”
According to the New York Times, drone devices are far and away the popular choice.

What people don’t understand is that the “P & S” slogan is never defined, so we just assume it means us; whereas in fact it is quite clear that the mantra is for the protection and service of the ruling elite; we the people are regarded as bugs beneath their feet, to be assaulted, murdered, arrested, imprisoned, molested, and tasered, at will.
The crimes which they define and we commit are simply when we make incursions into their power base, eg we might decide to deal a few drugs, which they have the self-appointed monopoly on. Or we might decide to evade the unlawful IRS goons; whose modus operandi is in clear contravention of the Constitution, which states that only profits may be taxed, not earnings.
