flag Portland approves $45K for police drone with privacy safeguards after prior rejection.

flag Portland City Council approved $45,316 in funding for a police drone from Axon, citing its use in search and rescue, crash reconstructions, and emergency response. flag The decision follows months of debate over privacy, data security, and Axon’s federal contracts, with councilors adding safeguards to prevent surveillance of lawful protests. flag The drone will be operated under strict policies, with data retained solely by the city and not shared. flag This marks a reversal from a prior rejection, ending a prolonged debate over the technology’s role in public safety.
