All police footage should be made public—not just body cam. Any footage captured by police personnel or equipment should be available.

This drone use is an example of the overlap between the US police system and the IDF.

If the public funds the equipment, the output should be owned by the public.

drone base surveillance is against the Constitution even if it's your local police department by the way

My city has a skydio and im am one of the pilots only if we have a hurricane. But let me tell you about the camera on that thing. It can see MILES away with a crystal clear image. The software is so good you can tag multiple people and cars and the program try to keep all of them in view and track them all.

Every day I say we live in a surveillance state and every day I’m proven more and more correct. So not only do we have to look out for cops, undercover cops, flock cameras, now also drones.

It’s crazy how many tech startups selling surveillance tech to governments have glaring massive and easy to access security vulnerabilities and by crazy I mean completely inevitable and believable

as a public official, all police footage should be public. We pay them with our taxes and should be publicly investigated regardless.
