to deploy drones for the first time is provoking a backlash from
leaders and activists who fear the surveillance will allow authorities

real concern around the use of these drones under those circumstances,
and the broader privacy issues,” said Jesse Arreguin, a Berkeley city
council member who represents the downtown area near the University of California’s flagship campus.

hotbed of political activism, would be among places subject to the
police use of drones as local law-enforcement agencies pursue the new technology to monitor crime in progress.
