    The Hummingbird's bird-shaped body is removable but it gives the bot an uncanny resemblance to a real hummingbird. The vehicle can hover and maneuver just like the bird. The ornithopter can fly into buildings under the control of an operator flying the spybot with the help of a feed from its tiny video camera. The prototype is capable of flying at speeds of up to 18 km/h (11 mph) and weighs 19 grams, which is about the same as an AA battery.

  • The law states that police need a court order to confiscate a camera unless it was used in a commission of a crime. The only exception is if there are exigent circumstances, such as a strong belief that the witness will destroy the photos, therefore destroying evidence. Under no circumstances do police have the right to delete footage.

  • law enforcement automatically assumes a maximum of secrecy in order to "protect" its investigative techniques
  • The city claims it's not interested in pursuing this sort of surveillance at the moment, finding it to be lacking in "practical value." But it definitely is interested in all the aspects listed above, just not this particular iteration. It also claims it has no policies on hand governing the use of "situational awareness software," but only because it's not currently using any. Anyone want to take bets that the eventual roll out of situational awareness software will be far in advance of any guidance or policies?
