Reply to comment by NuYawker in NYPD pilot stripped of badge after wife's arrest for vaccine fraud by mowotlarx
I think the concern is more with the “spy” part than the penis shaped flight path.

Sure. And that's why I linked the article. It explains what the plane does and the penis story. 2 birds, 1 stone.

Your IQ is too high for Reddit, boss.

I think the reaction is more about why a city police force, even the NYPD, has a $4m spy plane.
The article doesn't really answer that question besides an off-hand mention about counterterrorism
which leaves me with the same question as the other guy: Why the hell does the NYPD have a $4m spy plane? Why are they running counter terrorism operations that requires a $4m spy plane, and what exactly are these counter terrorism operations?
This seems like a job for the feds. (And the article does say the feds paid for it, so I'm trying to connect some dots here and guess that maybe the NYPD had better resources in place so it was easier for the feds to just supplement that and hand off the operations to NYPD, but again... why? Why is the NYPD already better equipped to handle counter-terrorism than any federal agency?)

Theres a story where the FBI "confiscate" surveillance equipment from NYPD .

Thank you! You put this much more eloquently than I did. The article acknowledges it but doesn’t go into much detail.

A 4 million dollar "spy plane" that's just a souped up Cesna, nonetheless

NYPD is on par with some militaries in terms of spending and toys.

I’m a big fan of his penis sky drawing as a passive aggressive comment to his boss
