of course, elections are coming. I can guess how these drones will be used, and who will be using them.

Agreed. There are much better uses for drones than to oppress and hurt people

I don't get it, if the military isn't allowed to use chemical weapons for warfare, why are police allowed to use them against civilians?

Yes, because it's a chemical weapon.

Here's the part I thought was scariest:

"It is also a potential precursor to scenarios in which the robots would operate fully autonomously, choosing their own targets outside of human control."

Bombs are made of chemicals. Gunpowder too. Everything is chemical. Pepper spray is essentially a non-lethal deterrent (not a weapon as such). Military OC is stronger than the civilian mixture. Some personnel are exposed to it during training.

it bothers me that this is being used by a mining company, probably to stop demonstrators protesting poisoning of their towns. it also bothers me that these drones have blinding lasers, which have been outlawed by the geneva convention.

The mega-trend of remote controlled---->to semi-autonomous---->to fully autonomous is factual and is admitted by the MIC and .mil.

Contracts for 30 000 .gov/.mil drones have been signed for daily/continuous use in USA airspace and the FAA has been ordered to develop all of the policies/laws etc... regarding the permanent addition of these drones to the airspace.

The majority of Americans are wholly accepting of this as is obvious to all who follow these trends.

Naturally, all of the G20 nations will acquire their own Surv. Networks as we go forward.

Besides, why would people object to being poisoned? SARC/

See last year's Robocop remake.
