The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) says it has used drones for
domestic surveillance purposes in the United States at least ten times
without obtaining warrants. In three additional cases, drones were
authorized but “not actually used.”
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Thursday published a
letter from FBI Assistant Director Stephen D. Kelly, who
admitted that the agency used unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
domestically, without gathering any warrants.
“The FBI uses UAVs in very limited circumstances to conduct
surveillance when there is a specific, operational need,” the
letter reads. “Since late 2006, the FBI has conducted
surveillance using UAVs in eight criminal cases and two national
security cases.”
