" In a scene that could have been inspired by the movie "Minority Report," 
one North Carolina county is using a UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicle) equipped 
with low-light and infrared cameras to keep watch on its citizens. The 
aircraft has been dispatched to monitor gatherings of motorcycle riders at 
the Gaston County fairgrounds from just a few hundred feet in the air--close 
enough to identify faces--and many more uses, such as the aerial detection of 
marijuana fields, are planned. "
