Police Use of Drones Leads to Arrest of North Dakota Farmer

From a Minneapolis Star-Tribune account last week:

…a Predator drone led to the arrests of farmer Rodney Brossart and
five members of his family last year after a dispute over a neighbor’s
six lost cows on his property escalated into a 16-hour standoff with police.

It is one of the first reported cases in the nation where an
unmanned drone was used to assist in the arrest of a U.S. citizen on his
own property…

Many more cases are likely to follow, in areas that include drug
enforcement, child welfare and environmental regulation. Warns the ACLU
in a report issued in December:

All the pieces appear to be lining up for the eventual introduction
of routine aerial surveillance in American life — a development that
would profoundly change the character of public life in the United States.

Lots of money is being made from drone (UAV) operations already, and
those who are dubious about the privacy and Constitutional aspect of the
trend can expect to run into comebacks like the following:

“If you’re concerned about it, maybe there’s a reason we should be
flying over you, right?” said Douglas McDonald, the company’s director
of special operations and president of a local chapter of the unmanned
vehicle trade group.

13 years ago, the heroes of columbine struck/they didnt give a shit,
they had courage and pluck/they were bullied till they couldnt take
it, at all or anymore/the jocks, the popular kids, bulldozed them like
a whore/dylan and eric showed, you have to reckon with the meek/
they'll make you pay for disrespect, not today, but maybe next week.

it takes only 8 seconds to hit the ground from my roof,
8 ticks of the clock , then i go splat and oof!
they'll need a shovel to clean up my blood and parts,
they'll feed me to the pigs: my kidneys, maybe my heart.
i'll be a eeking puddle for idiots go gather 'round
something for flies to nibble, something to feed a hound.
how long does it take rotten flesh and guts to stink?
a couple hours in summer, that's what i'd have to think.

So assuming your roof is on earth, with a rate of acceleration of 9.8
m/s/s, the total distance you would fall is 313.6 meters and you would be
moving at a velocity of 175.38 MPH when you hit (assuming you used a
strict bullet-like posture, otherwise the terminal velocity for a human
body in a flat fall or random posture is about 117-125 MPH - regardless of
the distance fallen - due to air resistance).

I think. Feel free to double check my calculations.

A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of
robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.
Now by chance two liberal sociologists were going down that road; and when
they saw him, they said to one another, "The ones who did this need our
help."

Supposing she does go into flatfall. That would reduce the distance
that could be fallen in 8 seconds. Do you have a model for air
resistance? It certainly is not totally absent and then full on, so
there would be some smoothing. Let's give her the benefit of the doubt
and assume that she wants to belly flop onto the concrete.

I prefer to assume she lands on you.

not bad. i like the part where they turn you into pig food. that merits
approval for being environmentally sensitive. reduce, reuse, recycle,
that's the spirit.

i also enjoyed your clever phrase, "a eeking puddle." clearly, a puddle
at the sight of which people go "eek!" that merits approval for being an
inventive use of language, even if it's only a typo.

perhaps, but self-referential poetry quickly gets too obscure for my
liking. it's a thin line for a conscientious poet to walk, to be sure.
