Having covered drone warfare from the deserts of the Middle East to the mountains of Afghanistan, I’ve seen firsthand the transformative—and sometimes terrifying—impact of unmanned aerial vehicles. Now, that technology is patrolling the skies above New York City. These videos offer a crucial glimpse into the NYPD’s burgeoning drone program, raising vital questions about public safety, privacy, and the evolving nature of policing in the digital age. From abandoned drones with shadowy corporate ties to exclusive access inside the NYPD’s command center, this footage provides a raw, unfiltered look at a program rapidly changing how the city is policed.
