| Drones for use by the Police force
Being evaluated today by the West Midlands police in the centre of Birmingham is a small vertical take off four motor counter torque drone,the idea is that the Drone sends back information to a laptop computer and can fly in very confined spaces and is portable.
The Drone is capable of being flown down streets and high above buildings to detect and monitor criminal activities,already tested by the Merseyside police force the cost of each unit is some £30,000

if these drones can be used at night surely there is a need for lighting ? before you know it these things will be involved in some air traffic collisions !!!!!!!!!!!

| To me they seem a waste of money to have as they won't be able to use them if it's slightly windy and kids would be trying to knock them out the sky. | |
