Cool...

This one goes out to all the small government, privacy loving, Republicans out there, supposedly hating invasive big brother tactics and representing the values of the American heartland.

Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.

Follow Hong Kong tactics and use umbrellas to shield from above.

What's wrong is that officers of the law are allowed to lie like that, yet still want to be respected.

Yeah, it's frustrating. We need to end Qualified Immunity pronto.

In lying's defense, they shouldn't be respected when they say that regardless of its truthiness

They'd come kill you for that.

they're already on the verge of it, may as well hang for a sheep

Is it plausible this might cause the helicopter to crash somehow? I wouldn't want to risk that.

Edit: can't believe people be downvoting this. Y'all have no idea how catastrophic a helicopter crash could be. But if you're downvoting because you think the answer is obvious and I'm stupid, I respect that.

No no, couldn't have that, would be a shame

a helicopter crash in a populated area has a high likelihood of collateral damage

Checking out women sunbathing in backyards or other places.

What about walkie talkies? Short wave radios? Older tech comms devices?

What about open source open hardware anti-air missiles?

Threatened? So they didn't ID them.
