Over the phone a few days after the hearing, Rocah also reiterated the bigger points about the use of this technology he presented at the hearing: "[Wide Area Aerial Surveillance] is the technological equivalent of every time you walk out the door, there is a police officer following you everywhere you go, but because it's being done at 10,000 feet we can suddenly debate if it's a useful police tool or not. There's no denying, I think, that at some level this technology will be useful for solving some crimes that happen—the concerns that we've raised about the technology is not that they are useless. It would be 'useful' if the police didn't have to get a warrant. It would be 'useful' to the police if they didn't need reasonable suspicion."
