Police in Westport, Conn., said they will be testing a "pandemic drone" that can scan the body temperatures of residents to determine if they have fevers or other health symptoms in an effort to combat the coronavirus.
Aerospace company Draganfly announced in a news release the drones will be equipped with a specialized sensor and computer vision systems that can display heart and respiratory rates. They can also detect people coughing in crowds, police said.

This intrusive act should be shot down figuratively and literally.
What size shot?
What crowds?
I wonder if they can detect a 12 gauge 3” goose load coming their way?
Can you say
Model 870 Remington
Target practice
the below blurbs and links are from the investor page at dragnafly in the section labeled ‘news releases’. There is no explanation, so are they a 100% manufactured in Canada operation or are these chicom drones from a Canadian company?
And why in America, would we use a chicom template for citizen surveillance? Said another way, how do we complain about what CCP is doing to their citizens, if the same claim can be made of us?

In May 2019, the Cyber-security and Infrastructure Security Agency said it had “strong concerns” regarding the increasing number of Chinese-made drones being used by U.S. government agencies, while in 2017, the Department of Homeland Security claimed that leading drone maker DJI, which is headquartered in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, was “selectively targeting government and privately-owned entities within these sectors to expand its ability to collect and exploit sensitive U.S. data.”

Tiny St Augustine, FL just came out with a plan where residents will have a smart thermometer that will be linked to their cell phone and report their temperature and other health info to city authorities at all times. It’s “voluntary.”

Might be a good place to start. Pellets are .24" in diameter.
Shotguns are going to be flying off the shelves.
That’s pretty scary.
Straight outa China!
Can is see through a burqua?
They could be brought down electronically.
Years ago there was a company called “Xandi Electronics” that sold kits to interfere with all kinds of radio operated devices.
One was the size of a pack of cigarettes and it would make TVs and radios go out at the flick of a switch.
There’s probably a market for a directional drone killer.

Fully within the police power of the states to employ these for public health.
You might as well complain about the use of radar devices to enforce speed limits.
Drone justification
They want a drone. They produce a reason to fund it
