Along with HPD, Miami-Dade is the other police department that will be testing unmanned surveillance drones as part of an FAA program. This story on the Florida city’s upcoming experimental program is notable in that the spokesman fails to mention the UAV’s would be used for issuing traffic tickets:
The unmanned aircraft will be used during SWAT team and tactical operations, especially when officers need video of a heavily armed suspect.
Shoot, Miami-Dade isn’t thinking outside the box.
