Department of Corrections: Leflore County

Officials at the FAA are vexed that they were not alerted before the fact about a demonstration of a small, remote-controlled surveillance drone by the Los Angeles County sheriff's department earlier in June. The department is considering use of the small planes, which weigh about five pounds and can beam video images 250 feet, to track criminals, look for lost hikers, and monitor hostage situations. If testing proves successful, the sheriff's department will purchase 20 drones, each costing between $20,000 and $30,000. The drones, supporters say, are much cheaper to operate than the department's 18-helicopter fleet. Privacy advocates worry about the use of the planes to spy on citizens. http://www.ap.org
