As long as they get used only in response to 911 calls and not preventively, this might be a good idea. But knowing cops, I see this getting abused basically from day one
They are already used at big events to monitor people in the crowd.
My hometown had a minimum of 6 airborn at very high altitudes at all times except actual bad weather. Almost 80% of residential area in town was always within view of at least 1 drone equipped with thermal.
