Welcome back to on the Honda foxnews.com.

-- time for our weekly legal panel joining media.

Right to left or that would be without right.

It's always had expired I want -- -- what was estimated for prosecutor.

Military officer at least we'll Fox News legal analyst and -- his former federal prosecutor that you could tweak able -- various places will put between.

-- up as we go.

-- let me get you first start on this particular it would give you military background I.

Find it very disturbing yesterday hearing this news.

That drones to the FAA now preparing.

Guidelines for up to 30000.

Drones to be flying.

In the skies over the United States used for all manner of -- enforcement.

Purposes which can be good but then the US samples -- -- -- these guidelines -- if we see something incidentally.

That might interest just like he got a bag of fertilizer in your backyard to -- tomatoes book or is it for a bomb.

They can keep that video nine.

-- and stop sniffing around.

Well I mean it's and it's a new issue -- its drones.

Similar issues have come up with.

Piloted aircraft and heal -- sensors particularly with the high iconic.

You know marijuana growing and -- those cases have been somewhat controversial.

-- that this is -- you can somehow I don't.

-- had a helicopter.

If helicopters coming home -- -- has you can hear it right there drone is secret it's quiet -- never gonna know and if they find goalie stick -- a video camera.

Over somebody's -- goal.

But -- -- -- my -- you have to see how we know -- priceless and the -- -- I think it probably is I think that's about the Supreme Court found in his heat imaging cases where they would put up they've for the heat it managers outside of someone's -- it would actually go into the home.

But they could.

Send those images it into the home and find out that it was an undue amount of light right.

Seven of marijuana dynamic now with a Fourth Amendment finally.

And don't have a choice for that -- you don't just say we can keep this video who made them right now.

Doesn't give it to them you know legislation written it's a Fourth Amendment problem down and plain and simple -- the heat sensor thing and people are gonna -- and hard and.

It depends on the -- as far as I don't for the heat censor what they said you know this is plain -- done tonight right you have -- you play you know that's what the governor surname was in plain view of the -- -- -- -- -- -- He senses and helicopters -- plan that's too much technology Murdoch -- was -- -- good when you can see through the house too much.

That's for criminal law enforcement grant I'm guessing that the military say we're not looking to bring arrests if -- funny -- it's going to be for intelligence gathering.

Which they would have won and it's why would vote for someone heavy fruit of the poisonous tree I was already incidentally is another matter that folks gun and that's probably the used -- -- used just seems scary economic pride I I I I agree I.

I would.

Well nothing -- president's.

I thought.

I think -- be problematic if they try to use evidence for that correct correct it becomes it you know an intelligent image sometimes lines are blurred.

You know especially on TV that talk jointly but it it will be a problem for the music on the case it becomes an intelligence issue it.

Exit program they stick to that safer ground but I'm not I'm not on -- right makes me really nervous to think that -- ended -- addressing.

And I guess served as it -- -- -- -- side to it clearly as well let me -- -- are helping in the search for missing came to search and rescue operations.

Yes that they don't we have to in this new world in which we live frame a lot of limits.

Have to -- out the book 1984.

And a half less drugs MMS I mean I've done segments about putting a chip in your arm and you know where various.

That would have a phenomenal use you can find missing people and so on but then there's always been negative and that's your point John and put it together.

What -- lot of our viewers weighing in here that's Griffin 57 -- -- the -- pose -- -- because -- drone called something.

Should take it all the way to Supreme Court I'm sure there played groups will be looking for such a fight.

And and pay for it I mean it's just a scary thought to mean not that you -- wolfpack you you know winning in a couple -- and this is like 20/20 or 30000 of these things they say.

You -- war can look up into the sky and think they're watching me we I mean.

You don't know as well it's just that it's it's that.

Just the nature.

But I think we're we're starting to find is -- privacy solution there's only you and we'll take people voluntarily enter into somebody technical technology oriented.

Transactions.

That you really have no privacy we all think we don't think about the -- On the decision unless you are building block every fairway and and big cities there are cameras I don't know exactly where they are but I do know that -- camera on here yet you -- clearly -- analyst -- -- -- -- city in the world he could.

-- about the -- though is that you know I guess we assume that we lose some expectation of privacy right walking out on the street.

The woman in our own -- -- back faster are not drilling on our generosity and news room that really you know Fourth Amendment is largely based around your home -- into your private all right let's.

Let's move along to.

John Edwards the former senator for my candidate for the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party.

On trial right now as you well know over walked -- made -- -- -- and with a million dollars.

That was not a given to his campaign for political purposes always given to him.

As a gift and depending on which interpretation the jury -- solve it he could go to jail for thirty years -- could walk away Scott free.

-- -- -- Lease Kate is killed at least his daughters at least least -- go to K okay.

I've -- already on this again today how critical is true testament to our democratic -- right.

I don't think it's that critical because I don't know that she can really get all that much relevant information.

Yes could you talk about but the family was going through absolutely the pain and all that and but if I -- the prosecutor at the very gentle I don't want to be.

The -- but it's not relevant to whether.

John Edwards knew that this money these donations were going to cover up his mistress wide keep discount window I didn't defense may be doing it -- to try to put a slightly more human face on the -- -- Bolivia's government with the.

Absolutely right and the foreign -- is making it's analogous to our character -- characteristic confidence as the defendant has agreed guys wonderful.

As prosecutors we get up.

Very calmly.

-- you don't know anything about them.

The facts of the case right I thank you and then you sit down -- -- -- I didn't estimation is father Carson was very nice I don't recommend it longer would twenty in this case is going right now.

Well I -- the charges were out there that.

Yeah guilty.

-- I think you know.

That there's.

We were talking before this segment there -- no limits -- things bad about this case the Pacific campaign finance violation I think that's maybe a little bit of history yeah it's not an easy one to prove -- it.

-- a case of first impression it has never happened like this where -- going after somebody who has it actually he didn't actually get the money himself the candidate didn't it went to a third party.

And so you've got -- really Parse through that's the picture's gonna have to do whether or not it was for.

Personal.

Embarrassment.

And a boy -- have -- strongest campaign point nine.

Heard was this.

And I'm no big fan of the prosecutor -- here but I will say that.

You know a lot of the defense was.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- A lot of people Abbas -- on the on the chat.

A bad if this was a campaign contribution or a gift.

Shouldn't it be tax records which make it very clear which of those things it laws and should that they have for -- being open and shut.

Thanks well there there are tax records that say that it was the gift not much effect covers all of that at some of that I I I know that and that is something the defense can use.

But still it doesn't really matter.

What the donor then thought it matters what the campaign at Edwards thought what his -- -- was and that's you know that's the tech terms are always hard to prove.

Yep -- not did you do we get a result it was pretty quickly do you think that it did the defense case going to be put up a longer anything there a couple of days and then -- get to the jury.

I guess depends on you know we we all have our view on how this plays in the campaign -- I don't know that you were able to do that comes.

Would you put Edwards -- I would night and I think they may we -- now and he is quite arrogant but I think arrogant so is pleased to fall release.

Would you put him up I don't think I would but I think they probably -- -- I would not for the reasons -- 61 before it came on which is that.

It wouldn't matter that you can throw the bad behavior they've had a kid that's silly because have been beating them up on that and the argument is that's not a crime.

But they will take him through all of the lives most notably the television show you've been on national TV where he lied and -- and then say look if he's lying like that and obviously can't trust in here.

All right great to have you all hey guys -- collect police Whalen Doug burns legal expert so thank you very much indeed that in -- how --
