The whole problem with drone warfare is you need untold miles of fiber optic cable or else you just end up getting jammed. And in a first world nation with blurry lines between combatants/civilians, there is a near certainty the drones will be captured and salved or even repurposed into counter drone war. The only way to avoid this with self-destructing drones, but if you use suicide drones on a blurry populous you immediately lose all moral high ground. Also numerous sensor/logic problems (lasers, counter IR, jammers, paint ball/solvent ball, nets/bolos, molotovs, etc) if deployed unmanned or out of rapid response reinforcement range of men.

I expect mostly fear mongering from the MIC shills and don't see them being actually effective in any civil capacity outside of full hot combat zones.
