On Thursday, I published a story about Police Tech Dev Review Safety that sold my drone to the private sector to track the shoplifters. Former police chief Keith Kaufman, who now guides the flock’s drone efforts, described the ideal scenario: The security team at a home depot, says, launches a drone from the ceiling after taking the suspects into their car.

In June, President Donald Trump recovered from this call Executive Order For “American drone dominance”, and in August, FAA released a new The proposed rule.
