Seattle Police Department Insists Drones Won’t Spy on Residents



Mynorthwest.com - The Seattle Police Department insists it won't be using new remote controlled aircraft to spy on people, despite concerns raised by the ACLU.... The ACLU raised red flags about the drones after it was reported last week the SPD would be deploying several unmanned aircraft thanks to a grant funded by the Urban Areas Security initiative. But [Sgt. Sean] Whitcomb says the department is working with the FAA and developing "appropriate policies." Whitcomb says the drones will be used for situations like crime scene photography, missing person searches, and barricaded person scenarios.
