Ok I get the potential privacy implications, but two things.
1) Aerial surveillance is not new. Ever seen the signs on the highway that say "speed limit enforced by aircraft?" Local jurisdictions have been flying small planes and helicopters for law enforcement for decades.
2) What is electronic about this? I mean, I get that the drones use electronics to gather and store data, but this feels like mission creep at the EFF to me. There are plenty of battles to fight online.
