New Orleans City Council discusses increasing oversight of NOPD drone usage

New Orleans City Council discussed implementing stricter reporting rules for the New Orleans Police Department's drone usage, requiring the NOPD to report material changes in drone flights, safety concerns, and other details. The proposal aims to increase transparency and public trust, following past scrutiny over NOPD's drone policies. While residents and advocacy groups expressed support, they argued the ordinance does not go far enough in ensuring accountability.
