Some are concerned about how the data collected from the drone cameras will be used by Antioch police.
As the city of Antioch is using more drones to target sideshow participants, privacy issues are being raised.If the Antioch police didn't catch all the drivers from Sunday's early morning sideshow, Mayor Lamar Hernandez-Thorpe says its drones will.
Hernandez-Thorpe says the police were able to quickly shutdown it all down within 30 minutes. That's because Antioch is starting to build back the police department. "The cops came in groups, so it was really good. They shut it down immediately," says Sequoia Tomahn, an Antioch resident, who also works at Antioch City Hall."I think with the drones, and newer technology, it can really help the police capture the violence and things like that that's happening," says Tomahn.But the use of drone is raising privacy concerns.
