Airborne Argus?: St. Louis, Persistent Surveillance Systems, and Stabilizing the Lofty Aims of Fourth Amendment Jurisprudence
McNutt’s three-plane, 36-camera system monitors thirty square miles from 10,000 feet, taking one photograph a second. When a crime occurs, the operator zooms in on the area, targets a suspect, and zooms out, backtracking the photo-log to follow the pixelized perp. The system can also be used as a live feed.
PSS was implemented in Baltimore without residents’ knowledge from 2016 to 2019. Even so, residents chose to reimplement beginning May, 2020. Residents of Dayton, Ohio, strongly opposed implementation.

Democrats press DHS over use of drone during Minneapolis protests “The drone that was flown on May 29, 2020, was reportedly also flown far outside the bounds of CBP’s (Customs and Border Protection)
jurisdiction. Federal law authorizes CBP to conduct its missions within a ‘reasonable distance,’ not to exceed more than 100 air miles inland, from an external boundary of the United States,” the lawmakers wrote.Spotlight on Surveillance - October 2014CBP owns the federal government’s largest and most sophisticated drone fleet outside of the DoD, including nine[29] unarmed Predator B drones operated from bases in Arizona, Texas, Florida and North Dakota. [30] CBP’s drones operate in a 25-mile corridor along the Canadian and Mexican borders, “as well as over the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.” [31] CBP drones employ a system called VaDER, which can “cover a wide swath of land and follow [a person’s] movement as it happens.” [32]Hmmmmm...now I know why they complained. Looking for drone upgrade to ARGUS.
Meanwhile, they're at the border...CBP’s Autonomous Surveillance Towers Declared a Program of Record along the Southwest Border 07/02/2020
CBP first piloted the towers in early 2018 with four towers in the San Diego Border Patrol Sector, and has since procured 56 additional towers. CBP is on a path to procure and deploy 140 additional towers in Fiscal Years 2021 and 2022, to reach a total of 200 towers.
