Protesters condemn proposed Minneapolis drone contract over surveillance concerns

Around three dozen protesters voiced their opposition to a potential contract between Minneapolis and drone company Skydio, citing worries about increased surveillance. The demonstration took place as the City Council prepares to deliberate the deal, which would enable the Minneapolis Police Department to use Skydio's technology. Critics argue that this partnership could lead to over-monitoring of communities, especially marginalized groups. This controversy underscores broader debates about privacy rights and the extent of police surveillance in modern society.
