The New York City Police Department announced plans to fly surveillance drones over the city this Labor Day weekend to monitor outdoor parties or barbecues following complaints about large gatherings.

The decision was revealed during a security briefing addressing J’ouvert, an annual Caribbean festival marking the end of slavery in which thousands of people take to the streets of Brooklyn.

Assistant NYPD Commissioner Kaz Daughtry said at a press conference Thursday that the drones will respond to "non-priority and priority calls."

They should be careful of the hoods they use these things. They won’t have any problem shooting them down.

Hundreds of millions in police helicopters are not enough...Now they need quiet drones to get real low and get a real good look at you and what you got.

They do allow shotguns there, right? You wouldn’t know if it was a police drone or a snoopy neighbor drone. My dad brought a drone down when some tourist in town flew one over our property. He was hoping whomever it was would try to come over to argue or something.

What if someone puts up large graphic images - - -

Like QR codes, or Bar Codes?

Would AI in the drones react?

Maybe tell them to crash, or turn on their masters.

Or some kind of blurry or pixilated image of the Mayor in a most private moment.

Then decode the drone’s output and publish it.

Dove season just opened.

That thing self-identifed as a dove, and I have my hunting liscence.

Exactly.

1) Dems and uninformed (”Independents”) vote Dem and enable vote count fraud because their side benefits.

2) Dems in power use totalitarian tactics of surveillance and lawfare.

3) Dems at home whine and cry like babies.

Have a skeet shooting party while the democrat drones are monitoring your alcohol consumption and what you are grilling.

#4 bird shot. Helium balloons strung with monofilament fishing line. Keep the grid tethered. You’ll snag drones like gill netting mullet. The airspace above your property extends upward until you exceed 600 feet, 1000 feet, or 10,000 feet depending on how close you are to controlled airspace.

Good time to try one of these:

"James E. Burke, electronics engineer at the U.S. Army’s Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center, received U.S. patent 10,180,309 on Tuesday, giving the Army intellectual property protections on Burke’s “Electromagnetic Pulse Transmitter Muzzle Adapter.”

This invention would enable a single soldier in a ground unit to destroy enemy electronics, such as small drones or improvised explosive devices, by attaching a special blank-firing adapter to their rifle’s muzzle, then firing a shot."

New York. Home of super high taxes, unrestricted immigration, hotel rooms for immigrants, subway violence, street violence, drugs/crack/fentalyl/whateverthehellotherdrugsthey’retakingnow.

New York, where the average apartment rent is $5,500 a month. Where you can’t find a parking place.

And now they’re watching your backyard to see if you’re using gas grills, or charcoal grills.

George Orwell had no clue of just how far government would go to invade innocent peoples’ lives while letting violent criminals back out on the streets.

Is there a law against backyard gatherings now?
