I would be interested to see if this works at all here in Baltimore.

I was wondering if that was a statement on Baltimore :-) So if you're in the bayshore (a pretty rough part of SF) and you ask for directions does it simply say 'shelter in place'? Or maybe 'call for an escort'?

I totally agree with the sentiment that this isn't a patent any more than patenting a TV that doesn't tune in Adult channels, oh wait, damn.

How hard would it be to provide drone support to out of their depth pedestrians? That would be an interesting startup.

... Whoever does this please don't sell to Apple or FB.

You mean kill the civilians nearby the pedestrians? That would be an interesting startup!!

Someone has been beta testing in the Middle East for some years now...this tech can't be far off.

I was actually semi-serious, and thinking cameras and tear gas, not firearms.

CONTINUED Basically a private protective service for people that don't have the money to afford live security guards.
