      I honestly don’t know. Maybe they could equipt them with powerful microphones that can record the conversations of the people below. They would help with putting a stop to thought crime. The police could then use automated speech analysis to determine if you are comiting thought crime and activate the appropriate response.

      Afyer the initial reponse they could remove the person and their friends and family from society. It would be a challenging task updating the records to show that these terrorists never existed. You would also need to make sure that the people around are aware that there own memories are wrong.

        “If a caller states there’s a large crowd, a large party in a backyard, we’re going to be utilizing our assets to go up and go check on the party,”

        What does “check on” mean? It really doesn’t say what they’re looking for, just an arbitrary description of “large crowd”.

            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.
