Flock Safety’s automated drones are designed to capture criminals by operating as "Drones-as-a-First-Responder" (DFR) that can launch autonomously within 90 seconds of an emergency services call. These drones are equipped with artificial intelligence, live video streaming, and automated license plate readers (ALPRs). They fly ahead of ground patrols to track fleeing suspects, identify getaway vehicles, and stream real-time visual intelligence directly to responding officers

Is the state going to indemnify this so called 'private company' to shield them from any damages/harm or legal issues as a result of their actions or inactions taken on behalf of the state?

I expect future candidates for public office to be elected by running on just one issue:

Get Rid of Surveillance. The opponents argument will open up the pandora's box of what really is out there, used by the government, to play God.

more like what state farm is doing to identify an old trough in your backyard with standing water to cancel your homeowner's insurance.

nah, they are sending their own private fleet of drones out with AI to look for reasons to cancel you.

google earth data is years old or in some cases decades old and not usable for that purpose.

Goes to heart of issue. If what is being seen can be observed by someone who is lawfully in the location they are in; you have no reasonable right of privacy. If you do something in your front yard where you can be seen from street, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy. On the other hand, inside your house is a different matter.

If you choose to drive on a public road, I fail to see how you have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Understand those who oppose cameras but loss of privacy is not the issue.

First, do you have a fence to block the neighbors views? Indecent exposure requires you and wifey to be in a public place which your backyard is not unless it it open to public view. If it is, you have no expectation of privacy, no more than if you and wifey had sex in the middle of the street

Cool Fact:

Louisiana leads the nation in drone governance and it's not even close.

Many issues that we will be dealing with regarding drone protocol and policy are being pushed and developed right here (most of it you will find very good) and our legislature is on the forefront of codifying good drone use in statute.

i still believe if i own the mineral rights under my property i should be able to build an invisible EMP shield at least 100' up so any drone entering my airspace gets taken out.

meh....I think the deeper issues is what is "privacy." Yes, walking on a public street, I have no expectation of privacy in that I could have my picture taken, or "observed" in the conventional sense.

However, does the expectation of privacy extend to the expectation that my habits aren't stored in some database to be compared to other habits of mine, and where they are sold or "measured" in a social credit kind of way.

There is a considerable difference.

I'd go even further. If they find oil on your property, the oil company has to pay royalties to harvest the oil. Personal information is no different. These tech companies have been mining your data for years, making trillions, and what have you received?

Interesting point but if you have no expectation of privacy when the picture of you walking is taken, how does the fact that someone kept the photo or even published it change your expectation of privacy. Your post here is public.How does the fact that it is stored and can be retrieved change that?

great point.

they only use information AGAINST you gathered by snooping around the privacy of your home. there's no recourse against an aggressive drone using AI to inventory everything going down in your private space.

Like I said above, I think the legal definition of privacy is outdated to an extent. We aren't debating a celebrity walking down main street or trying to have dinner without the presence of the Paparazzi or a random criminal committing a crime caught on a public camera (or even a Ring doorbell) and claiming muh privacy.

What we are discussing is the categorization of data so that it can be compared to the categorization of other individual data to create a predictable pattern of behavior which can then be profiled and used against an individual. Currently there are no laws, to my knowledge that prevent this.
