bizjournals.com: Aerial surveillance planes to begin flying over Baltimore Friday by Ethan McLeod (“Camera-equipped surveillance planes will take to the Baltimore skies Friday, kicking off a six-month pilot program testing the technology’s ability to help fight crime. … Ohio-based Persistent Surveillance Systems is operating the planes, which will capture low-quality images from 8,000 to 10,000 feet for at least 40 hours per week in an effort to aid police in investigations of homicides, shootings, armed robberies and carjackings. The planes’ territory will cover 32 square miles. PSS will store the images and send the police department “evidence packages” to help with investigations, rather than operating the planes to assist with real-time policing of violent crimes.”)
