Police departments around the country are using drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), to assist in law-enforcement. This may include using drones for surveillance purposes, something that's becoming increasingly controversial. Readers get a crash course in police UAVs with this text, which uses age-appropriate language and simple diagrams to explain the science and technology behind drones. STEM classroom concepts are supported by this science- and-technology-focused text, which asks readers to form their own opinions on the use of drones in police departments and beyond

Since July 2018, the European Union member states have had appropriate regulations governing the manufacture and use of all types of civil drones. Although, most of these states already had national laws governing the use of drones. These are still in force for military and state drones. However, other legal and ethical issues still deserve attention. Prominently, drones raise several issues regarding the protection of privacy and the use of personal data. Indeed, drones used by civilians may be equipped of different types of sensors that can collect a large amount of data. Consequently, the use of drones by companies or amateurs could increase the surveillance effect and even affect the behaviour of individuals. Also, in the context of the increasing use of drones by law enforcement agencies, issues arise regarding the limits applied to fundamental rights. Beyond the simple use of camera-equipped drones, it is the various fundamental rights they reach that are of most concern. The use of aerial drones for surveillance purposes is the most representative case in this regard. In order to avoid abuses, some States are working to develop regulations to govern the use of drones by law enforcement and rescue services. ; Desde julio de 2018, los estados miembros de la Unión Europea cuentan con una normativa adecuada que regula la fabricación y el uso de todo tipo de drones civiles. Aunque, la mayoría de estos estados ya tenían leyes nacionales que regulaban el uso de drones. Estas siguen vigentes para los drones militares y estatales. Sin embargo, otras cuestiones jurídicas y éticas siguen mereciendo atención. Principalmente, los drones plantean varias cuestiones relacionadas con la protección de la privacidad y el uso de datos personales. En efecto, los drones utilizados por los civiles pueden estar equipados con diferentes tipos de sensores que pueden recoger una gran cantidad de datos. En consecuencia, el uso de vehículos aéreos no tripulados por parte de empresas o aficionados podría aumentar el efecto de vigilancia e incluso afectar al comportamiento de los individuos. Asimismo, en el contexto del creciente uso de drones por parte de las fuerzas del orden, se plantean cuestiones relativas a los límites aplicados a los derechos fundamentales. Más allá del simple uso de drones equipados con cámaras, lo que más preocupa son los diversos derechos fundamentales que alcanzan. El uso de drones aéreos con fines de vigilancia es el caso más representativo en este sentido. Para evitar abusos, algunos Estados están trabajando en la elaboración de una normativa que regule el uso de drones por parte de las fuerzas de seguridad y los servicios de rescate.

El trabajo se centra en los drones

Public safety agencies across the nation are increasingly using drones for public safety applications. However, drone technology has both positive and negative effects on the public. This paper analyzes the use of drones in public safety and the effects of such use, while providing a recommendation on how a public safety agency can deploy a drone program while considering the benefits and burdens. Three immediate and important uses are outlined. They include the utilization of drones for search and rescue, disaster response and crime scene photography. In each application, drones do a better and more efficient job than personnel because they have better access and suitability for tasks that may be dangerous. Privacy concerns, the military perception, aerial disturbances, and distrust of law enforcement highlight the most critical public concerns that must be considered before launching a drone program. Laws, regulations, and best practices are critical for establishing trust and alleviating fears with the public. Fears are resolved with an effective communication strategy, a good policy and adherence to Federal and State laws. Even though law enforcement drone use is controversial, if not already doing so, public safety agencies should consider their use. If applied and used sensibly, drones have the potential to be incredible assets.
