A Tea Party member, the ACLU and I all agree

Holy cow, who could have predicted this one?

I agree with a Tea Party member over in Missouri:

Drones raise fears of spies in skies

Casey Guernsey doesn't trust the government.

So the idea of the government deploying unmanned aircraft to patrol Missouri's skies terrifies him.
"It would be a nightmare scenario for me," Guernsey said. "It isn't far-fetched that we could see government agencies deploy drones to spy on individuals and businesses around the state."

That's why Guernsey, a two-term Republican state representative from Bethany, drafted legislation aimed at banning government agencies from using unmanned aerial vehicles -- more commonly known as drones -- to conduct surveillance without a warrant.

If it passes, Missouri would be the first state regulating drones.

"I don't want to see our state government get in the business of monitoring the citizens any more than we do right now," he said.

And the issue has brought Guernsey -- who considers himself a staunch, Tea Party conservative -- an unlikely partner in his quest: the American Civil Liberties Union.      ---Now, if anything, Ms. Guernsey, the ACLU and the Missouri state legislature all need to go one step further and make this same proposal apply to private companies as well. Link: http://midwestdemocracy.com/articles/drones-raise-fears-of-spies-in-skies/
