Quadeer "M.C. Spice" Shakur , Minister of Information for the Universal Zulu Nation has founded the American Drones Association. The non-profit organization's slogan is "policing the police from the friendly skies."

The American Drones Association plans to have 100 zones in each major city in the United States and have contacted private owners to be ...
