    US To Use Drones In Chris Dorner Manhunt - Indoctrinating the Masses!

    US To Use Drones In Chris Dorner Manhunt

    Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/10/2013 16:33 -0500

    Update: this just in - Authorities offer $1 million reward for information leading to arrest of ex-LAPD officer Christopher Dorner

    We were hoping to evade coverage of the latest mass distraction du jour, that of the former LAPD officer Chris Dorner who recently went rogue following a three man murder spree and who has vowed to kill again as per his 6,000 word manifesto, but the US government had made it impossible following confirmation

    that the search for Dorner is now the first official drone-hunt in US history.

    The Express reports:




    Yesterday, as a task force of 125 officers, some riding Snowcats in the rugged terrain, continued their search, it was revealed that Dorner has become the first human target for remotely-controlled airborne drones on US soil.

    A senior police source said: “The thermal imaging cameras the drones use may be our only hope of finding him. On the ground, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

    Asked directly if drones have already been deployed, Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz, who is jointly leading the task force, said: “We are using all the tools at our disposal.”

    The use of drones was later confirmed by Customs and Border Patrol spokesman Ralph DeSio, who revealed agents have been prepared for Dorner to make a dash for the Mexican border since his rampage began.

    He said: “This agency has been at the forefront of domestic use of drones by law enforcement. That’s all I can say at the moment.”

    And once Dorner is found by remote-control, it will be again up to drones to secure his "elimination." If for no other reason than to perform a ground test of just how the recently enacted drone-facilitated extermination of US citizens sits with various instances of the US judicial system.

    Drones deployed in Dorner man-hunt

    Slash Gear – by Chris Davies


    US security officials have approved the first known use of drone man-hunting on American soil, with fugitive Christopher Dorner, who has a $1mn bounty on his head after killing three people, being chased by the remote-controlled tech. Customs and Border Control confirmed to Express that eye-in-the-sky technology – which is equipped with thermal-imaging cameras – had been deployed to monitor the Mexican border, where Dorner is believed to be headed.

    “This agency has been at the forefront of domestic use of drones by law enforcement” spokesperson Ralph DeSio said when asked about the tracking technology. “That’s all I can say at the moment.”

    However, an unnamed senior police source described the search as “like looking for a needle in a haystack,” and suggested that the thermal cameras – which show body heat, and as such are more useful in nighttime and when broad swathes of ground must be examined – were the “only hope of finding him.”

    Exactly what sort of drone has been sent out in the search is unclear, though the Customs and Border Control team has been known to use a Predator model in previous incidents. Back in 2011, a high-level Predator drone operated by the agency provided valuable intelligence to a SWAT team dealing with a disgruntled, gun-toting North Dakota man, who had threatened police.

    The Dorner case is the first known time when the drones – also known as UAV, or unmanned aerial vehicles – have been sent out to actively hunt a fugitive, however. Dorner, who was fired from the LAPD in 2008, has threatened a killing spree of police officers and their families, and his training in the police force and, before that, the US Navy has made him a difficult target to track.

    Drone use has proved controversial in recent years, particularly the part the UAVs have played in warzones, where they have been used to deliver targeted weapons without putting manned vehicles at risk. Two separate DARPA proposals last month detailed the possible next-generation of the technology, including a high-resolution camera for improved identification, and plans to store drones underwater for rapid deployment.

    They’ll join an already cluttered sky, however. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) released a map of UAVs in operation last December, spanning everything from large Predator and Reaper models, down to hand-launched Raven, Puma, and Wasp drones in testing by the US Air Force.
