Self‑Driving Cop Cars Launch Drones

Miami‑Dade is testing an autonomous police vehicle packed with 360° cameras, thermal imaging, license‑plate readers, AI analytics, and the ability to launch drones. The 12‑month pilot aims to measure deterrence, response times, and 'public trust' and could become a national template if adopted. — It normalizes algorithmic, subscription‑based policing and raises urgent questions about surveillance scope, accountability, and the displacement of human judgment in public safety.
