“New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said on Thursday that his police force is ‘looking into’ using drones to survey demonstrations, reported DNAinfo. During an interview at the 92nd Street Y in New York City with Reuters News’ editor-in-chief, Kelly explained the need to look into ‘anything that helps us,’ although a drone program was not being aggressively pursued currently. He also discussed the department’s counter-terrorism programs and the fact that the force has privately paid officers in 11 cities worldwide to ‘act as tripwires or listening posts for the city.'”
