A proposal to limit police drone use has advanced, setting up a final vote that could impact the use of this technology. The bill would restrict when police can deploy drones without approval. Temporary deployments would be allowed in certain situations, such as active shooter incidents or searches for missing people.

Supporters of the measure say it increases transparency and oversight of surveillance technology. The proposal also requires a public hearing and approval before launching any future drone pilot program.

Further details about the proposal and its potential impact are available from the source. The measure is expected to undergo a final vote, which could reshape the police department's use of drones.
