The Arlington PD Can Use Drones?

WASHINGTON - It's widely known that the military has employed drones to help in the war against terrorism, but there may be a lot of other drones flying around the U.S.

The Federal Aviation Administration recently released lists of organizations, agencies and manufacturers that have sought authorization to fly drones . . . .

The first full list, available [here], also includes police departments in several states.

That story was published today. If authentic (and I'm reading it correctly), I'd think that's newsworthy for the metroplex.

(Thanks for the tip.)

Edit: Well, it looks like the news covered the PD's application for the use of drones last year. I guess the news is that they were approved.
