Jeffrey Blackwell’s job in the Philadelphia controller’s office was to root out corruption and mismanagement.
Instead, Blackwell was taking bribes himself—telling people he could get them city permits or contracts in exchange for cash.
The FBI learned in 2013 that several people with business before the city were paying cash bribes to Blackwell. Blackwell promised those who paid him—people seeking permits to do things like place a dumpster or sell cars—that he could cut through the red tape and help them.


“The exact thing he was getting paid to prevent by the taxpayers of Philadelphia, he was doing himself,” said Special Agent Brian Coughlin, who investigated this case out of the FBI’s Philadelphia Field Office.

Actually, I'd say it in a completely different way (grammar corrections aside) ... but this is too much of a family place for me to venture into using that sort of language...

No they didn't. The drone is under Radio-Control not light frequency control.

The lights/lasers disorient the tiny pilot inside the drone, causing him to crash.;) He forgot to press the GPS 'return to home' button.
Here's a pic of the drone's recovery operation:

Oops! I think they call that a Freudian slip.
