[QUOTE="Raoul Duke, post: 2099189, member: 27529"] Your right, everyone should just assume it's for some unspecified "scientific" or academic purpose. Being that OU receives public funding they should be justifying this expenditure by specifically identifying the necessity of it, including the purposes it will and will not be used for. Your remark seems to suggest that it's somehow paranoid or someone is a tin foil hat type to question why and how our tax dollars are spent. It's that kind of thinking and ridicule of asking for answers to legitimate questions that enables government waste, fraud and abuse. Maybe they do have a legitimate need for a drone, maybe they don't, but the public does have a right to know exactly what that need and the usage is. It shouldn't take filing a freedom of information act request to get that information, either: [URL="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/12/newly-released-drone-records-reveal-extensive-military-flights-us"]Newly Released Drone Records Reveal Extensive Military Flights in US[/URL] [/QUOTE]
