I love the idea. We could be marginally safer and all it would require is a constant 24/7 aerial surveillance at all times. I'd feel so safe and secure, it'd be like having an older sibling that was always there to watch over you and make you feel safe, like an older brother perhaps.

This has been tested before, here is an example: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/baltimore-maryland-to-become-first-city-monitored-by-police-surveillance-planes/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/baltimore-maryland-to-become-fi... there is no legal objection to it as far as I understand. The quality isn't super high but it let's you retroactively follow vehicles to see where they have been.

I mean, they do it now with noisy, expensive helicopters. Drones are just cheaper and quieter.
