Baltimore Police defend aerial surveillance program
BALTIMORE - Baltimore Police on Wednesday defended an aerial surveillance program used to investigate crimes in the city, saying characterizing it as a secret is inaccurate.
Since the beginning of the year, the Baltimore Police Department has been using a plane to investigate crimes ranging from property thefts to shootings, according to the Bloomberg report.
Baltimore Police spokesman T.J. Smith defended the program in a news conference, denying that it was being kept a secret from Baltimore residents.
