Never let a crisis go to waste, right?

California is really ramping up its efforts to control the population after a couple dozen people died from the Coronavirus.

Governor Gavin Newsom recently said he was considering martial law after 12 people died from the Coronavirus.

Now a California police department is planning on using drones with night vision cameras and loudspeakers to monitor the population amid the Coronavirus shutdown after approximately 28 confirmed deaths in the state.

A California police department is planning on using drones equipped with cameras and loudspeakers to monitor a coronavirus shutdown. The Chula Vista Police Department recently doubled its fleet of drones, purchasing two of the machines from Chinese company DJI. The police department told the Financial Times that they would be outfitted with night-vision cameras. “We have not traditionally mounted speakers to our drones, but … if we need to cover a large area to get an announcement out, or if there were a crowd somewhere that we needed to disperse, we could do it without getting police officers involved,” said Capt. Vern Sallee. “The outbreak has changed my view of expanding the program as rapidly as I can,” Sallee added.

“What we saw in China, and what we’re probably going to see around the world, is using drones with cameras and loudspeakers to fly around to see if people are gathering where they shouldn’t be, and telling them to go home,” Spencer Gore chief executive of U.S.-based drone company Impossible Aerospace, said. “It seems a little Orwellian, but this could save lives.”

Recall, the Communist Chinese government in January used drones to spy on citizens and order those without masks or outdoors without authorization to follow commands blasted from drones as part of the government’s efforts to stop the Coronavirus outbreak.

The drones would tell the Chinese citizens to go indoors and wash their hands.

One man laughed at the drone after it barked orders at him so the drone shot back, “Don’t laugh. Now get on your cart and go home immediately!”
