"NYPD will deploy drones to respond to 911 calls"

  • Pilot program is in 5 precincts.
  • Each precinct will get rooftop drone platform
  • Calling it “drones as first responders”

This a good thing? Drones can certainly get eyes to an emergency quickly. Video footage admissible in court?

Privacy implications? Will people be shooting these down?

@davemark It could be very helpful. The problem is will it get abused and how would we know or stop it?

@davemark might be good for ‘which way did they go?’ Reconnaissance, but I can easily see them chasing and observing ‘the wrong guy’.

We’ve seen manned helicopters with heat and night vision doing the same thing. This is still going to need a ‘pilot’ albeit sitting at a desk somewhere.
