Recommended: US and military drones

In the United States, citizens are becoming more aware of the increasing use of "drones". Although it seems reasonable that people would not want drones flying above their homes, a lot of people seem to misinterpret the word “drone”. Many do not realize that these “drones” are not the lethal Military grade MQ9-Reaper (Image 1). Citizens should be aware that the drones being discussed are essentially no more than a remote controlled helicopter equipped with a camera. However, those who are aware of the difference, are focused on their privacy. Many are calling for an outright ban on drones due to the fact that their personal privacy could be breached. I agree that people's privacy should be taken into account, but banning drones outright may

However, they have been seen to be becoming an invasion of privacy. Recently, there was a Kentucky man who shot down a drone that was hovering over the houses in his neighborhoods.

For example a drone is ideal for SWAT operations, crowd control, criminal missing person, forensics crime scene, gangs, narcotics, search and rescue, vehicle crashes and corrections (prisons). However, using drones for the constant surveillance of someone at their personal property is illegal unless the law enforcement agency obtains a warrant. There are many cases that have been thrown out due to be in violation of the fourth amendment. In the case Kyllo v. the United States (2001)” Suspicious marijuana was being grown in petitioner Kyllo’s home in a triplex, agents used a thermal imaging device to scan the triplex to determine if the amount of heat emanating from it was consistent with the high-intensity lamps typically used for indoor marijuana growth.

Our Innocent Lives At Stake A drone strike can kill a person in one room of a house, also people in the room next door, to even across the street like a school. There has been cases where the drones have had civilians attacked while along the intended target. These were all unplanned deaths, all innocent deaths. I oppose the use of drones in warfare. From all the drone strikes killing innocent people or putting their lives at stake and ours, is a horrendous movement, that’s why in my opinion I think we shouldn’t have drones.

US NEWS informs us, “Drones in Seattle and Miami are equipped with video cameras capable of taking daytime and nighttime video, as are drones used by the Texas Department of Public Safety.” In 1989 Supreme Court decision ruled that police may use helicopters to peer into semiprivate areas including the backyard of a house without first obtaining a warrant. The Congressional Research Service furthermore states “The legal issues discussed in this report will likely remain unresolved until the civilian use of drones becomes more widespread”. The fourth amendment prohibits any search and seizures without a warrant.

Full range of advanced surveillance and intelligence (i.e. high powered zoom lens, night vision, see-through technology ‘dust, clouds, buildings and foliage’, video analytics and vise distribution.

There are many constitutional implications of government spying programs, one of those being a complete violation of privacy here in the United States. Snowden himself exposed the NSA, as he noted that calls were recorded and various other electronic data were collected on many individuals and kept for future use. There is no denying that the use of spying programs violates an American’s 4th amendment and it often leads to people refraining from posting something controversial due to the fear of being watched. Ever since the WikiLeaks documents were publicized, many people feel paranoid, and rightly so. People used to be able to talk, post and do anything they wanted to with complete freedom.

Uses of drones is one of the biggest reasons of new technology affecting the 4th amendment. Uses of drones is allowing that person to fly this piece of technology and see what somebody is doing. This is invading privacy, you're basically searching someone by watching them and seeing what's going on, and you have no warrant to do so. Drones need to be modified I believe. The next reason is the Apple and FBI disputes.

The teaching profession naturally is context-based and full of uncertainty (Edward, et al, 2002; Murray, 1996) that a teacher has to entertain in a flexible and open-mind manner. That is why Larrivee (2006), Daloglu (2001) and Darling-Hamond (2006) claimed that it is almost impossible to manage all ‘learning engagements to teach’ at the time of training in the teacher education. Reflection, particularly critical reflection, helps learners to realize being experienced, innovator, participant observers, continuous experimenters, adapters, action researchers, problem solvers, clinical inquirers, self-evaluator, political craftsmen, etc. in such a way that it ensures continuous professionalism in teaching (Tom, 1985; Zeichner, 1983), which is useful
