Many departments already have drones with cameras, loudspeakers and thermal imaging. Currently mostly used for missing persons to scan large swaths of woodland quickly
Yeah my hometown used them to find a guy that ran into the woods after being involved in a shooting.
But I think RobotZap means a more dystopian use where drones essentially takeover the streets constantly patrolling to enact martial law by robots or something (getting terminator vibes).
