It sounds like something out of Minority Report, but the Los
Angeles Police Department (LAPD) have already deployed a spy drone to
monitor Compton, a small city with a higher-than-average crime rate. The
single drone, the size of a Cessna aircraft, would fly high above the
city, utilizing aggregated data from crime reports to predict where it
would likely catch a crime in progress. The craziest part of the whole experiment: it actually worked.
As
the drone circled the skies above Compton, a report came in of a
woman's necklace having been ripped from her neck. Checking the video
from the drone, the cops were actually able to not only see the crime
take place, they were able to identify a getaway car as well. Depending
on your viewpoint,
the downside of the program (as the cops see it) was that the drone's
camera was only good enough to watch the crime happen, not to identify
the criminal or the car's plate number.
