Police near Minneapolis, Minnesota used drones last week to check on an enormous threat to the local social order.
Namely, CNN reports the drones were activated to check if sunbathers at a lakeside beach were breaking the law by going nude or topless.
Golden Valley city officials say the police department used the high-tech surveillance devices at Twin Lake on July 10 after receiving complaints from the public.
This stuff has been going on there for decades. By law, people in public spaces have no expectation of privacy from being recorded by security devices. Cheryl Weiler, Golden Valley Communications Director Cheryl Weiler
The city says police collected information from eight individuals identified with the help of the drone footage, but did not issue any citations.
