It really doesn’t say what they’re looking for, just an arbitrary description of “large crowd”.

minus-square hglman ( @hglman@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilinkEnglish6•10 months agoCheck-on and stop are not the same. Why do you need a drone if you’re going to stop the party?
minus-square melroy ( @melroy@kbin.melroy.org ) linkfedilink1•10 months agoI don’t think we should allow those drones in the first place to be honest. The west is becoming more and more like China.

I disagree with this being a reasonable measure, but at least it would make sense as to why they want to do it, ya know? As it is, it sounds like NYPD is just trying to use all their budget so they don’t lose it next year or whatever.
