(THE SANTANERO) SANTA ANA, Calif. — The City Council voted 4–3 Tuesday night to approve a police drone program, following a tense and closely divided debate over the use of unmanned aerial technology. The decision authorizes the city to move forward with the agreement outlined in the staff report, allowing the Police Department to implement drones as part of its operations despite opposition from nearly half of the council.
This is breaking news. A longer article, as well as the full recap of tonight's meeting will be published later this week.
