What constitutes an 'anti-social' motorist - what if someone's had a bad day? I imagine the anti-social motorist thing would be more like road rage, speeding, etc., but if police departments are unable to afford enough officers and 'eye in the sky' helicopters and planes to deal with traffic issues, or if they're simply failing for other reasons in dealing with traffic issues, then why spend the money on 'spy drones'? Seems like a lot of 'big brother' and waste of money to me.
