Miami police are armed with unmanned aerial vehicles

In the USA, unmanned aerial vehicles are first put into service. The police of the city of Miami run in a novelty.

In the near future, the latest unmanned aerial vehicles will be at the disposal of the American state of Florida, with the help of which law enforcement agencies expect to fight crime even more effectively, the British newspaper The Telegraph writes.

The low -size Honeywell aircraft was created specifically for police officers. This small "heavenly spy", the dimensions of which allow it to hide it in a backpack, are able to land on any "patch" of a horizontal surface. He also knows how to fly vertically from such an improvised landing site.

The novelty was developed by Honeywell International, which gave it its name. The device weighing a little more than 6 kilograms carries on board the system of optical and infrared cameras that can track the movements of the suspects in crimes.

While the device is tested on the marshy plains of South Florida, however, if everything goes well and the US Department of Aviation approve the project, flights will begin over city quarters. However, the police hastened to reassure those who are afraid of the "big brother". “We intend to use this (novelty) only in special cases as an additional couple of eyes,” the police press secretary noted.

Law enforcement agencies believe that such unmanned mini-vertebrates are best suited for reconnaissance in the case of taking hostages or siege of the house in which the criminal was barricaded. Accordingly, the device will be used by police units SWAT.

Not only police Floridas showed interest in the new product. Applications for the use of the apparatus were received from the Houston police in Texas.

We add that a similar device was designed in the UK. In June, the model will also be tested by the police of the Mersisade counties, the newspaper writes. It is assumed that it will help collect evidence against those who commit unlawful actions.

With the help of an unmanned mini-elevation, you can monitor the development of riots, receive information about the movements of human flows and track the processes of the formation of automobile plugs.

Honeywell’s brothers, which have more weight and dimensions, are already used by coalition troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. American scientists who originally engaged in space research have been designed for several decades.

Recently, the Central Intelligence Directorate admit that at one time they designed a aircraft the size of a dragonfly, which would be able to receive secret information using a laser. Such a development called Insectohopter appeared back in the 1970s.

And in 2006, unmanned aerial vehicles began to use the US customs and border service. With the help of such robots, they began to patrol the Mexican border. A similar patrol of the Canadian border in the near future will be introduced in the state of North Dakota.

However, the US Department of Aviation has still forbidden the police to use similar developments. Officials were afraid that the use of new items in difficult city conditions would lead to a series of unpleasant incidents. "You do not want one of them (aircraft) to fall on the windshield (car) of your grandmother during her trip to the store?" - asks a rhetorical question, the representative of the Ministry of Dug Davis, who oversees the unmanned flight program.

However, officials had to give in under the pressure of the optimistic assurances of experts that in the next 10 years unmanned vehicles will still enter our lives.

However, human rights activists indicate the imperfection of legislation, which so far will abuse new products, violating the right of citizens to private life. In particular, a hot discussion flared up around the possibility of using unmanned vehicles in public places, explained Howard Civil Freedoms, Hovard Simon.
