The main reason for the increased desire authorities are showing for such technologies is because they can have more surveillance for less money. And I guarantee there will be more surveillance because of it. I heard in one report a reduction in the cost of similar aerial surveillance by a factor of 100.

Will there be an 100-fold increase in the amount of surveillance? Not immediately, but we'll get there, and then we'll pass it. This vastly increased ability will be inevitably accompanied by an increase in unlawful or unjustified surveillance.
