Police use helicopters for all sorts of things. What is problematic isn't the monitoring from above, it's that it is so cheap. A helicopter with crew costs over $1000 per hour, so we know you know we aren't being monitored indiscriminately from above. Its simply to expensive. With drones, the cost of air surveillance drops to a whole other level. A level that almost allows for mass surveillance. The same argument can be made about drone warfare: it's not the shooting/bombing from above that is disturbing, it's that it can be performed at almost zero risk. The same argument we saw in communications surveillance. When listening to a phone call was expensive it was one thing, when listening to communications became free we know what happened. Cost, however, shouldn't be what limits surveillance, regulation should. If police can switch from a helicopter to a drone for sime mission, and save 90%, that should be a good thing.

For a helicopter, you need a hangar, a pilot, regular maintenance, insurance, fuel/oil as well as membership/pad fees if you actually want to fly anywhere besides airports. You could do a small helicopter for $200,000-$400,000 and then about $30,000-$40,000 a year in recurring costs before pilot, fuel and oil. You can expect $300-$400 per hour of flight time. If the 10 million is invested and has a return of 4% annually, the helicopter will cost 10% of the max you can pull out without depleting principle. That also doesn't include loan payments if you didn't buy the helicopter outright. So, helicopter money is a lot higher than it looks.

I worked with some great people at a huge company, a lot of them had families, one had a child with very severe asthma, and one time only a helicopter could get to the hospital fast enough. Others had perfectly healthy children... in college, and a huge mortgage on the family home. They all engaged in counter productive job preservation strategies. The easiest of which is simply to not aggressively share knowledge. At very large companies you really have to actively push your knowledge onto people or a shared knowledge repo. The next level is to put a very small bit of effort into actively avoiding the sharing of knowledge. Give less than the best answers you can give when asked for information. You don't have to lie or hide, just don't be quite as eloquent as you could be. At yet another level are things like writing custom wrappers around things that didn't need wrappers, or that already were wrappers themselves. People were doing this because if they lost their jobs they would lose their homes, the children's heath insurance which can pay for things like helicopters, etc.
