      The party will just be aborted and stopped. Obviously…

        Check-on and stop are not the same. Why do you need a drone if you’re going to stop the party?

          I don’t think we should allow those drones in the first place to be honest. The west is becoming more and more like China.

        Like, if there was a restrictions to how large a party can be (say in response to the current wave of COVID cases), this would make sense.

        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.

      The cops will show up, drink all your bud light, eat a few burgers, and taze your grandmother.

      Best way to prevent this is to just not allow shitty beer at your party.
