The San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) has issued a new proposed policy that would allow broader use of drones for public safety and patrol. The policy has been criticized by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and other groups for lacking clear safeguards and definitions. The Police Commission will consider the revised policy on October 14.
Why it matters: The proposed SFPD drone policy could enable widespread surveillance without adequate privacy protections, raising civil liberties concerns.
