Does the fight against rural crime really need squadrons of drones - un-manned spy planes equipped with surveillance cameras, to go with all the other cameras which watch us as we go about our daily business, which somehow don't seem to be turning the tide against crime despite the zillions spent on them.
CCTV in town centres is widely believed to have done nothing more than displace crime from urban to rural areas.

Richard Littlejohn has some more colourful views.
Un-manned aircraft will doubtless strike a chord with Norfolk police. If nothing else, they'll go with all the un-manned police stations across the county.
How about something even more radical - like spending the money on extra coppers..?
