Amateur UAV Pilot Exposes Texas River of Blood
Presto Vivace writes "Carlton Purvis of Security Management News reports that a tip from an amateur UAV enthusiast 'is what led Texas authorities to open a major criminal investigation into the waste practices of a Dallas meat packing plant.' The photo shows a river of blood."
Hey! Kids!
Bring a straw!

Did you not see the Movie? Teleportation and Flies Never ends well!
We made a toaster dance with it.
I can see how they can do this undetected for so long, the Trinity around Dallas is little better than an open sewer. It's nasty and smells really bad.
The organization would have to collect taxes! Theft! Socialism! Slavery!
Hail Eris, full of mischief...
E pluribus sanguinem
That wasn't a joke going over my head...it was only an illegally operated amateur-operated drone!
MCSE? No, sir...I don't do Windows. Yes, I am an idealist. What's your point?
When you're the owner of a slaughterhouse, turning a river red with blood is pollution. When your name is Moses, it's Divine Judgement.

Bet you a nickel the police would need a warrant before such surveillance.
Yes, that's how police helicopter pilots fly in general, they take off in their helicopter and they shut their eyes for fear of seeing anything without a warrant.
Shit is brown, your post is shit and I can see it.

They'll turn all sparkly and you'll have to shoot them for the good of humanity and quality television programming.

So if drones are outlawed, only the drones will have drones?

I'll give them just one small benefit of the doubt. It's POSSIBLE that they didn't know they were discharging blood into the creek. Old plant, old plumbing systems, plus the fact that regulations a hundred years ago were pretty lax, makes it possible that a crappy old pipe was just never dug up or disconnected.

I agree it's possible, and it's also possible that even if they did know they still wouldn't care.
I do not want your cheap brainburning drugs. They are useless for work. And I am a working man today.
I guess the question would be, do you run 24/7, and do you have so much equipment that you require supplemental air conditioning running all the time? Is your power bill at least a couple hundred dollars higher than would be typical for a house in your area with similar square footage?
That probably describes the computer situation of 90% of the self respecting geeks here, myself included :)
