When someone calls 911 for police in the upscale beach town of Santa Monica, California, a drone is dispatched from the roof of the station with a push of a button.

On the one hand, having the ability to quickly dispatch a drone to a crime or accident scene could be a good thing, and help police to gather more information faster which would serve to help them solve more crimes. On the other hand, having drones could get out of hand in relatively short order, leading to less and less personal freedoms and ultimately to a time where we are policed by machines like we see in dystopian movies like ‘Minority Report’ and others. In California, police and all branches of law enforcement are using drones as first responders.
