Federal rules prohibit any aircraft from operating in the Flight Restricted Zone around our nation's capital without specific approval, which includes all unmanned aircraft.
So, what's the big deal? Surely LEO will be given approval and businesses can purchase approval as needed to invade privacy, why do you hate America?

Oh, and please assume sarcasm before modding/replying...
You've obviously given the analogy more thought than I, thanks for your insight (I completely agree with the following caveat).
Most guns aren't high-value items, and therefore gun owners wouldn't really benefit from titling and registration.
I'm not aware of anyone registering their jewelry with the government - their insurers, sure, but not the government. I personally think registering my car with an insurance company is plenty and don't feel the government really adds much benefit... but, I register it because I want to drive on public roads - if I didn't, I would not register it (insure it if I considered it high-value, my current car, heh, I don't even insure [I have coverage in case I hit someone else, but just liability]).
Huh, what an insightful post. Surely you have reviewed my posting history and discerned that while I claim to not want a meddlesome government, what I really want is a nanny state to take care of me. Pride swells in my heart for Slashdot that our ranks are growing (quite recently, in your case) with professional psychoanalysts that provide such thoughtful discourse without thought of remuneration.
Does the government have any reason to know how many cars you have?
Forgive my cherry-picking, I only have time to address one of your items: The answer is no*
*unless I am driving on public roads.
If my gun is in my home, it is not the government's business. You could argue that if I carry in public, it is - and the car analogy kinda falls apart then because it suggests carrying in public means ok to require registration (I vehemently agree with several above, registration is a very slippery slope). The only counter I have (in the time I have) is in addition to (pretty much all) analogies being imperfect, we have also compromised that we can't have "any kind of gun" even in the privacy of our own homes (whereas I could have [to the best of my knowledge] pretty much any car - roadworthy or not - on my private property and be fine), I am limited** by draconian laws written in knee-jerk reaction to gangsters during prohibition.
**Yeah, I know some of those are just a tax-stamp away, but I still can't have (for example) a P90.
PS: For what it is worth, I'll scream for the govt staying out of both my life and yours.
FO4 junkie here, it's no exception. My (bought used for $180 a year ago) GTX 680 works great in 4k (by great, I mean with anti-aliasing basically off - at 24" 4k doesn't really need it). Yeah, I spent a stack of cash on my monitor (mainly for Photoshop), but otherwise, I have a 6 year old (bought 5 years ago for about $100) AMD quad core processor & 8GB RAM (and a small SDD + large HDD) - it doesn't take much to get a better experience than consoles.
At the risk of 'me too'ing the AC above, I have done so recently as well. They usually cite prophylactic benefits, yadda yadda, but honestly, I think they do because of the aforementioned dorks. It's bad medicine.
I was in Utah about a decade ago when UTOPIA was rolling out; 15x15 (super-fast 10-12 years ago, looks like $5 less for 100x100 now) for $40/mo... couldn't drop Comcast fast enough, though they did send a retention guy to my house to try to get me to stay. Offered me an 8x3 (fastest they could do in my area) like for $30-something. Pretty sure I laughed.
If they agents of a foreign government, rebroadcasting at their behest, I think it can be shut down without free speech concerns.
On the other hand, if they are broadcasting a feed on their own accord (ie: their own speech) I think there's a clear-cut copyright infringement case against them that can be used to shut them down...
Sounds like you want the new Orange Pi (not the $15 one - I bought that one & like it, but those two features take the board all the way up to $40-50:)).

It can be under the battery compartment, so long as it doesn't take a tool to remove (it doesn't have to be visible on the video).

Meh, they all end up dead :)
Same could (may) have been said of cars themselves.
Oh, I don't know, I think we get screwed by the govt plenty ;)

I think 2 genders is enough, besides, how many geneticists actually trampoline?
Can you provide links to your examples? Genuinely curious, as I am inclined to agree with your premise but was unaware of any specific cases.
With their PCs?
/ducks!

Refurb is $50-60; I bought one a little while back (kinda regret it, but it's a neat concept).

Well, at least he got 1 thing right ... ;)
If you had high standards for yourself, you'd stop posting.
Whooosh ;)
Sure they will, with drone delivery, too! ;)
I wouldn't. It was plain and simple.
