## Resource

Murfreesboro police are expanding their drone program, adding two new drones to their fleet and seeking software upgrades — but residents are raising alarms about privacy and automation. While the department insists drones will still be flown manually and won’t link to city cameras, some fear they might become autonomous first responders. Police chief confirms no funding has been requested for such a program and is now asking for just the software licenses, not the full integration he initially proposed. The city council will decide on the update — and whether tech can keep pace with community concerns. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
