Mayor Bloomberg Predicts Drone Surveillance for New York City

Not over his place, of course

New Yorkers of the future will be better watched and have less privacy than they do today, Mayor Michael Bloomberg predicts in an interview on Christian talk radio station WOR 710.

His foretelling came after host John Gambling asked what he thought of the New York Police Department and other agencies using drones in the future. A local CBS report in January found signs that the NYPD is considering the machines. "It's not a question of whether I think it's good or bad, I just don't see how we're going to stop that," Bloomberg said.
