Answering the question....
Limitless pot of money - Yes - for the same reason that liposuction should be available on NHS; nice if can be afforded, why wouldn't you.
Limited pot of money - No - for the reason already mentioned in another thread - 'scroat' is usually given a 'rap on the knuckles'. Great for searching for lost kids but drones will be doing that in not to distant future at fraction of cost.
Choppers are a 'nicety' but far from essential imho.
