Posit: #LEO A scary drone scenario? Law Enforcement hunted from the sky by gangs, drug dealers & international/domestic terrorists...
2019-01-11
[Snafu-Solomon] I wanted to piggyback off our discussion of the Houthi drone attack on the Yemeni Army that succeeded in wounding (reportedly) several high ranking officers.

In that talk we hit on the idea that civilians would be screwed in unrestricted warfare in the future.

Thinking about this a bit more I believe the people that will be pounded like a street whore by a drugged up pimp (before the big fight happens) will be Law Enforcement.

Imagine this.

A LEO is on the way to work. Unknown to them, they've been stalked by a local gang because he's been tenacious in defending the citizens of his city from their predatory behavior.

He sees a gang member zooming around town then he makes it a point to fill his pockets full of tickets. He checks constantly to make sure that he's isn't carrying...whether weapons or drugs. In other words he's doing his job. Making life hard for someone that is trying to ruin the lives of the law abiding.

Well on this morning he jumps into his truck and is headed to work 20 miles away from his home. The bad guys know his shift. The learn all the cops in the area and when this guy comes to work everyone knows to lay low.

Except the guys from the cartel.

He's ruined their business and its time for payback.

#3   Low tech drones against the infrastructure can do far more damage to far more people. The possibilities for major mischief are vast.

#2  Frequency counters, Jammers, and Infrared and area denial systems.

Moreover, Small wars defense and offence instead of trillion dollar airplanes and that useless LCS.

#1  Low tech killer drones are quite feasible. Even those with exotic weapons or camouflage. {why can't a drone look like an air vent when parked on a roof lurking?}
