Are the drones just conditioning citizens for mass surveillance?

There are supposedly mysterious drones flying over parts of the country that is causing people to lose their shit. So much so that local officials are asking for answers which they’re not getting.

How long before local/state law enforcement agencies start pushing for “drone divisions” in order to counter these mystery drones? The mystery drones disappear or the mystery is solved, but now the public has been conditioned to the fact that drones are an effective law enforcement tool.

The mystery drones are gone, but these law enforcement drone divisions don’t go anywhere, but their missions shift to other law enforcement operations like mass surveillance and other types of enforcement.
