As an air of Remake of Death to the Kits, a version of the 21st century … in the United States, a company, Father Safety, who has been working with the police so far, a specialty of surveillance and hunting of thieves in the store is being made, thanks to the drones.
Specifically, a drone is parked on the roof of a store or a shopping center. It has a camera and can be called to the rescue by the security team of a store where a flight took place. Then you can follow the person or person, as well as the vehicle used to “flee” for several kilometers. On its website, the company announces a 89% rate in the success of the location of a suspect, and specifies to intervene in 86 seconds on average.
The video flow issued by the drone camera can also be sent to the authorities, which can therefore decide to intervene.
A drone to be quickly
According to Technology Review, the concept is beginning to take, especially in California. In fact, the new company has signed with Morning Star, which specializes in the cultivation of tomatoes and uses drones to ensure its facilities. But Flock can also deal with campus safety, hospitals or even warehouses. It is then a matter of reserving some space at the top of the building so that it can fly without incident.
To succeed in flying its drones, Flock can count on the relaxed rules that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is developing. The organization plans to access a flight license for a much easier driver, especially depending on the activities of a company.
Especially because there is a place to occupy. Several police departments in the United States began using drones as “first response”, in other words, such as the first device at the scene of a crime or disappearance. In December 2024, the People site informed a 10 -year -old boy who is in Colorado thanks to a drone that could quickly analyze the mountainous area in which he was lost.
Big brother in heaven?
The fact is that flock activities, as well as more and more remedies to drones in the US territory, concern privacy defenders and civil rights. According to Rebecca Williams, a specialist in the American Union of Civil Liberties, it is “a logical step towards the wrong direction.”
It is also another attack on the fourth amendment of the Constitution, which must protect citizens from illegal searches and seizures. In spite of this risk, the laws aimed at limiting or supervising these practices remain stagnant in a polarized American Senate. To this is added the amount of personal data acquired by Flock, which can then monetize.
Because during drone flying, the company can also scan the plates and carefully assign a neighborhood or an area. The data of the US federal agencies, such as the fight against illegal immigration, the ICE, can be offered within the framework of the programs established by the Donald Trump administration.
