The Drone Bill Advances to the North Dakota State Senate

In the latest on ND's drone controversy (as reported here by the Trib), the state House approved a bill requiring a warrant for the use of drones in surveillance.  It now goes to the state Senate.  I hope the Senate OKs it as well.

It amazes me that so many people oppose this kind of restriction of power; they say things like, "Why should we make the police just through all these hoops to do their jobs?"

The implied question here is "don't you trust our government to use the proper restraint?"

Well, Thomas Jefferson didn't; why should we...?
