Local police in Ogden, Utah, want to be first in the nation to deploy a surveillance blimp outfitted with cameras. Above is a video of the blimp in action. The Defense Department has already made frequent use of blimps for intelligence purposes, so perhaps this comes as no surprise. It’s often only a matter of time before the law enforcement community adopts high-tech military gadgets. Police Chief Jon Greiner tells the Standard-Examiner:
Nobody else in the nation is trying to do this, so the FAA has no regulations for it.
