@starsandrobots@jetdillo than the constant noise of manned helicopters during summer reciting BS over a PA to the residents below ,eastoak -
@starsandrobots@jetdillo and definitely a LOT cheaper.. now we need to get CHP and OPD and the news media to use them also -

@starsandrobots@jetdillo UAVs are by far cheaper on the city budget than that.. -
