ie, blood, from a meat packing plant.

yeah it got reported to the local news and feds.

what i find more interesting is the argument that those photos could possibly never be used as proof from the government/others to sue, because they violate privacy laws.

above is the article on the drone, the first couple of comments got me thinking on this. (gizmodo.com)

The arguments in the comments about privacy are interesting. - Krusty Jan 25, 13:23 1

I wonder if it's visible on google maps - or Microsoft Bing Aerial Maps? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 13:18 7
