    In my friends city they use drones that do fly bys.

    I remember visiting and we’re all outside and smoking weed at night and a drone flies over the house next to us, goes down a line across other houses and makes a turn and flies down the row right next to the last one it made. Like it was mowing the lawn.

    At first I thought it was a hobbyists until I noticed the pattern it was taking. It was a surveillance drone and when I asked my buddy if there was a manhunt or something going on for someone he replied that that’s the local police stations drone and that they do that all the time.

    I’ll never forget the terror I felt when he said that. I don’t smoke all the time either so I was just staring at them in disbelief while they were all laughing and just chilling about it while I was freaking the absolute hell out about it. I remember they told me I’m just being paranoid.

    “ABOUT NIGHTLY DRONE FLY BYS BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT!?” I still can’t believe said I’m just being paranoid about being scared shirtless about that and what ur brings for the future.

    Police surveillance has been overreaching for a long time
