I'll go against the grain on this in a limited sense, many local cop divisions are too incompetent to fly drones safely that AI probably would do better than the pigs.

This incident in Canada showed me that the cops didn't bother to read any of the regulations, didn't bother to tell anyone they were operating in one of the highest risk areas where any normie operator would need special clearance from ATC, and didn't show any situational awareness at all and caused an incident.

Not saying that I would want autonomous or cop-controlled drones patrolling and unconstitutionally (in the American sense) surveiling innocent people constantly. Just remarking that general cops are so bad at using drones that I think AI could technically perform better here.
