After a two-year quest, the LAPD moved one step closer to permanently adding drones to its arsenal of tools.
Craig Roberts, of Los Angeles, of Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, lets the commissioners know he is against the LAPD drone pilot program and the expansion of drone use during a discussion of the Los Angeles Police Department's Small Unmanned Aerial Systems Pilot Program.
The request came nearly two years after the five-member civilian Police Commission approved strict guidelines for police to use the remote-controlled devices in dangerous situations such as a barricaded suspect, active shooter or explosive device. The vote means the existing pilot program will continue until the commission can consider a new police policy.Bonner asked how often the LAPD would update drone technology or weaponize them without telling commissioners.From left, Richard Tefank, executive director, Dale Bonner, commissioner, and Eileen Decker, commissioner, discussion of the Los Angeles Police Department's Small Unmanned Aerial Systems Pilot Program during a Board of Police Commissioners meeting at LAPD.
