SEATTLE, Wash.- Unmanned drones similar to those the military uses may soon fly over Seattle's airspace. 

A spokesman says the Seattle Police Department has purchased two helicopter-style drones that could be used in search and rescue operations, natural disasters, and crime scene investigations. 

Police say they say they have talked to the American Civil Liberties Union about what kind of information the drones could collect and how it could be used.
