The precautionary principle is the only just, non-authoritarian option for situations like this. I know the targets are mostly in neighborhoods that you probably don't frequent, but those people have the same rights you do, and that includes the right to reasonable privacy.

It's not perfect data, because they are only flying during the day, so crime committed at night may just be harder to solve. https://www.baltimorepolice.org/sites/default/files/General%20Website%20PDFs/Mid_Term_Report_AIR_Pilot_Program.pdf https://www.baltimorepolice.org/sites/default/files/General%...
