Once again, as downright creepy as this is, I have no symptahy for New Yorkers. They keep electing communist scum, this is the result of it. Drones monitoring holiday weekend backyard parties in New York City (also suggesting people wear masks again).
The New York Police Department will dispatch drones to monitor backyard parties and private social gatherings over Labor Day weekend in response to any complaints. However, some are saying that drone surveillance by police would be an invasion of privacy.
During a press conference on Thursday, NYPD Assistant Commissioner Kaz Daughtry said of unmanned aerial vehicle surveillance, “If a caller states there is a large crowd, a large party in a backyard, we’re going to be utilizing our assets to go up and check on the party.”
Daughtry said the drones would respond to “non-priority and priority calls.”
Some have said that the drone-monitoring of private gatherings would be a violation of the Public Oversight of Surveillance Technology, or POST Act, which “requires the NYPD to publish impact and use policies for the surveillance technologies used by the Department.”
Passed by the New York City Council in June 2020, the POST Act requires the New York Police Department to reveal “information on surveillance technologies such as the description and capabilities, rules, processes, and guidelines, and any safeguards and security measures designed to protect the information collected.”
