I’m reminded of a story from somewhere concerning a murder case that remains unsolved in the midwest. They found the body in a field with one gunshot right between the eyes at close range. They had nothing until one detective remembered that with a camera, the last thing on the lense was a picture of what was last seen. So he sent a note to the lab guys to check on that. They thought he was nuts so they sent back a close up picture of a bullet. That’s what the drone will see.

Sounds suspiciously racist
just 6? impressive. are they robot ‘Dirty Harrys?’
Everybody likes job security, but catch and release has to stop. The drones should sink eagle claws into the perps and drop them on Alcatraz Island to be guarded over by solar-powered prison automation until death.
Oh the horror! Citizens celebrating liberty and their Independence as a nation! Only in San Francisco.
And the San Francisco District Attorney and San Francisco Judges tout their new revolving door jail cells as a game changer in releasing criminals.
What, will they, scoop down and pluck them up into the sky? Fly them to booking, then the courthouse, then the slammer?
Why bother? They won’t be prosecuted anyway.
Works will make sure they are diverted to fecal detection patrol.
Why?
They are not enforcing laws now, so why spend the money?
(Oh, it may be helpful to find out who sold them the drones)
Drones are not needed to help save what’s left of their retail establishments.
Cops always talk about gamer changers but the game never changes.
BS. It’s virtue signaling. They’re trying to give the appearance of doing something about crime instead of cracking down on it irrespective of skin color.
AND within a week or two it will be scrapped for catching too many “criminals of color.”
Only speaking for myself but I am darn tired of being watched everywhere I go. Every road, every intersection, every parking lot, every building door and lobby, every where... Yeah, Minority report is coming next arrested for thoughts (oh wait we are already there).
It is nobody’s business what I am doing, spending, who I am talking to etc... until after the crime (if one) is committed and they do old fashion investigating.
Will they have robot-dog drones with hypodermic needles like in Ray Bradbury’s book “Fahrenheit 4511”?
apprehension isn’t the problem ... parts of SF you can’t even walk without stepping on a felon ... the problem is prosecution, conviction, and incarceration ... drones won’t solve THAT problem ...
