They could also be used to look in places where we&apos;re not used to prying eyes.Law professor Gregory McNeal studies the legalities of drone use at Pepperdine University in California. McNeal believes local government, not the courts, should lead the way in writing the rules in the drone era.He says our notions of privacy may differ from what the law says. McNeal told David Sommerstein the Supreme Court has upheld the right of law enforcement to look for wrongdoing from a helicopter or plane.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/16942/20110106/cuomo-says-prisons-can-apos-t-be-a-jobs-program</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 6, 2011) In his speech yesterday, Governor Cuomo fired a shot across the bow of the North Country’s prison industry.  For decades, correctional facilities have been used to shore up the region’s economy, providing thousands of high paying, dependable jobs.  Inmate populations have been dropping the last few years, in part because of reforms to the Rockefeller drug laws last year.  Those laws imposed long prison sentences even on low-level, non-violent offenders.As Brian Mann reports, the new governor says using prisons as an economic development tool is unaffordable and morally wrong.
