The FAA has launched an investigation into the actions of the Los Angeles
Sheriff's Department after the demonstration flight of a small and nearly silent
unmanned aerial vehicle last week. The week before, the FAA had warned the
Sheriff that any such flights of the 6-foot-wide SkySeer drone without the
appropriate certificate of authorization could subject the law enforcement
agency to disciplinary action, the Los Angeles Times reported. The Sheriff's
office has argued that the drone is no different than remote control planes,
which can be flown by anyone. And the department says the drone would fly below
300 feet as it helps officers track fugitives and locate missing people,
keeping it at an altitude below aircraft and helicopter traffic in the <st1:place
