"The American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday warned of the prospect of “routine aerial surveillance of American life” and called for new regulations to govern the use of unmanned aerial systems, or drones, over American skies.

The 16-page report suggests that if unchecked, the use of drones by law enforcement agencies could become commonplace, and that they could be used to monitor the movements of ordinary citizens without a court warrant and perhaps even be deployed to spray tear gas on protesters."--By SOMINI SENGUPTA, NY Times

"U.S. law enforcement is greatly expanding its use of domestic drones for surveillance. Routine aerial surveillance would profoundly change the character of public life in America. "--by ACLU

    Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. Highlight: Would set hours of operation of each Athens-Clarke County "building campus" -- e.g. City Hall, the courthouse and Dougherty Street government building -- at 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Park hours would either be set by the Athens-Clarke County manager or the Mayor and Commission. The ordinance has been derided by members of Occupy Athens and others as seeking to enforce a curfew on public property, thus damaging their First Amendment right to peacably assemble for long-term protests. read more
