North Dakota: Reverse Legalization of Armed Police Drones #NoDAPL

In 2015, North Dakota became the first state to legalize armed police drones. With the ongoing protests surrounding the Dakota Access Pipeline, this raises serious concerns for the welfare of activists on the ground.

Protesters in North Dakota have been pepper sprayed, strip searched, hit with rubber bullets, and kept in dog cages. The fact that the police also have armed drones at their disposal, when the police are already heavily militarized and using force against peaceful protesters, is incredibly troublesome.

Although the law doesn't allow drones to be equipped with lethal weapons, it DOES allow police to affix tear gas, rubber bullets, beanbags, pepper spray and tasers to the drones.
