A Leak of San Francisco Police Drone Footage Exposes the New Reality of Urban Surveillance

San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) experienced a leak of drone footage captured by a Skydio platform, exposing the extent of aerial surveillance operations conducted over the city. The incident demonstrates how sensitive video data from law enforcement surveillance systems can be inadvertently exposed online.

Why it matters: Urban residents and civil liberties advocates need to understand the scope of surveillance infrastructure now in use and the data security risks when footage becomes public.
