Background

In late 2021 and the spring of 2022, the ACLU of Massachusetts filed a series of public records requests to understand how the Massachusetts State Police (MSP) uses drones.

On December 14, 2021, we asked for communications, contracts, purchase agreements, invoices, records pertaining to the use of drones, and manuals, policies, and procedures. On May 10, 2022, we asked for records pertaining to any warrants obtained by MSP to use drones to conduct surveillance. On May 24, 2022, we asked for more records pertaining to the use of drones, including additional logs, notes, police reports, incident reports, intelligence reports, and other records that showed who operated or used drones, how and when, and for what reasons. Read our blog post about the materials.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1/3″][vc_column_text border_color=”transparent”]
