- JohnFen 3y agoThe expense of helicopters acts as a natural limit to the amount of abuse that cops can engage in with the helicopter. Drones are a lot cheaper, and essentially lifts a restraint. I'm not necessarily opposed to the use of drones, but I think their use needs appropriate restrictions and oversight. Given how little effective oversight cops have in general, and especially in the use of powerful tech, I am very skeptical that we'll see that with the use of drones.
