TRAP GAME IS DEAD? Miami Police Use Drone To Bust Drug Deals

For the first time ever the Miami-Dade Police Department recorded a suspected drug deal with an unmanned aerial drone. This follows the police department receiving permission to do so from a judge. As anyone with foresight would expect drones are now being considered a potential new tool for police surveillance.

Albert Quirantes, a Miami criminal defense attorney, states,

“This is the first time that a police agency sets up a drug buy with an informant, films the whole thing with a drone, and they did it with the authority of a judge…[That’s] what made it legal in this case.”

The criminal defense attorney adds, “If they pass a law, the law is going to probably provide standards so that everybody is treated fairly and impartially by the police when they do effectuate those drone arrests,”

The videos will now be put into evidence for the case. State legislators are currently considering how to expand the use of police drones while addressing concerns about privacy.
