## Resource

Oakland County is moving to tighten drone use rules after community outcry, with a new policy requiring transparency on how departments like sheriff’s, parks, and treasury use drones — covering operator training, data privacy, and public access. While some worry about privacy and constitutional overreach, others see drones as essential tools for missing persons, crime scenes, and property assessments. The current $2.5M two-year program faced internal dissent, but the proposal now heads to the full Board for a vote amid ongoing debates over public input procedures and legal challenges to recall efforts.
