Palma steps up: More cameras, drones and the big question of privacy

Answer

Will drones be used by the police in Palma for everyday patrols?

Drones can be useful for searches, incidents or large events, especially when a faster overview is needed. They are less suitable as a general everyday presence if there are no clear rules about when they may fly and what they are allowed to record. In Palma, their use should stay tied to specific purposes, not routine monitoring.
