I'm a new resident to Oshawa. After reading the article on Air 1's dismantling of its 'heat-seeking technology', I felt compelled to voice my opinion... and that is all it is. Moving here from Toronto, I admire the surveillance this city has working for it. The politicians and Toronto police can't seem to even put a helicopter into the air... never mind having a system in place that will assist them in properly charging drug-infested pot labs. If people are concerned with helicopters flying around imaging their dwellings, think of that next raid beside your house that was selling dope to your kids. Let the technology the police have at their disposal be. I, for one, am anxious to have all these drug labs dismantled, not the system that dismantles them!
