    Possibly. We’ll have to wait and see what the empirical evidence shows some time down the line.

    Regardless, this is setting an unnerving precedent, in my opinion. It further erodes the expectation of privacy when cops can just deploy drones that give a high degree of visibility from the sky (i.e. yards with privacy fences or private rooftops with privacy fences now no longer discourage police spying). I’m not sure the argument you’re presenting will justify the cost to privacy in the long term.

      My family lives in a small town of like 10k and my mom knows the police chief. This tiny ass police department apparently has a drone with a telescope lens capable of just looking into people’s homes from far away
