It's a bird,Babygirl (2024) it's a plane — it's a...surveillance drone?
For the first time in history, the New York Police Department will fly a drone over Times Square to monitor the crowd during the annual New Year’s Eve celebration. The drone will surveil the event alongside more than 1,200 cameras in order to assist around 7,000 police officers who will be on duty, according to the Associated Press.
The remote-controlled quadcopter will never fly directly over the crowd and will be tied to a building in an enclosed area as a safety precaution.
The NYPD will also be deploying technology that prevents unauthorized drone usage during the New Year’s Eve celebrations in Times Square.
Earlier this month, the NYPD unveiled its brand new drone program. The announcement drew swift criticismfrom the New York Civil Liberties Union and other groups. Critics claim that police drones can have chilling effects on free speech and protest rights.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has said that more than 2 million people are expected for the annual ball drop. Experts, however, have said the the actual number of people packed into Times Square is closer to 100,000.
