Cutting response times from 5 minutes down to 2.
Those who both love to participate in, and observe, surf riots were dealt a heavy blow, this morning, after it was revealed that the Huntington Beach Police Department is adding three drones to the force. Mayor Pat Burns, a former police officer themselves, proudly declared, “These drones can save a lot of time, save a lot of lives, and really become a force multiplier in service to the people.”
Detective Taylor Davoren, who will be piloting one of the drones, shared, “In most cases, suspects or vehicle descriptions are critical, but if it takes an officer 5 minutes to arrive, those details might be gone. With drones, we can often be there in under 2 minutes. And we can start recording immediately.”
Those who both love to participate in, and observe, surf rights very depressed. Huntington Beach, as you know, has been home to the finest surf riots this side of Maroubra, Austrlia since the famed Op Pro Riot of ’86. The US Open of Surfing Riot, 2013, also very fun.
Surf rioters, in any case, are deeply worried that the amount of drunken antics needed to spark a full anarchistic burst will be limited by overhead drones capturing video, making very annoying whining sounds and alerting the police. Surf riot observers knowing that if the surf riot fails to grow it will simply be three drunken men with baggy shorts, Vans Old Skools and HB tattoos duking it out in a parking lot.
Just another day in Surf City, USA.
But what are your thoughts on the surveillance state in which we now live?
Yay or nay
