Just something that can fly up to some open windows and see if it looks like a murder scene with people huddling around terrified/blood everywhere/guns out or if the house is full of people just chilling doing normal stuff.
It would have to be a very quiet drone. I think we could build such devices. (Not necessarily flying.)
SWAT tactics were seemingly designed around the assumption that the residence is a fortified gang base with lookouts and the like. This means the SWAT teams are going in blind because they don't want to alert the armed guards...It's exactly the opposite of what you would thing responsible policing should be.
I think we as a society need to revisit this assumption. We really want to avoid teams of armed, tense men running into a building with guns. Given a large enough number of iterations of such events, an accidental shooting is just a matter of when, not if.
I think those running fortified gang bases also want to avoid public hostage scenarios. The fortified gang base assault mode should be reserved for situations where there is solid intelligence, not on the call of some rando.
- jandrese 8y agoI saw a demo for a drone that had these oddly shaped ducts around the fans. They didn't necessarily make it quieter, but they directed the noise upwards. The company was marketing them to birdwatchers, but I had a feeling the actual clients would be different.
