I find it interesting that the question is "why don't they use drones". My question is: why so much air surveillance? I live in Germany. The only times I hear a helicopter is if someone is being rescued or if someones missing. I rarely see them at all.

It's not about results per dollar. It's about sending a message.

The police state needs to enforce its dominance.
