Automated target acquisition in that regard is prohibitively costly and therefore unlikely to be an option in that totally hypothetical anti-cop/acab situation, to be fair.
Whereas, consumer-tier FPV drones are not only super affordable, but they’re only getting cheaper to produce (see: FDM printing) and in starling^1 quantities, too. (Hell, I got into the printing hobby initially to offset the cost of learning how to pilot a few myself years ago [ie. lots of crashes. lots.], and the tech has grown immensely since then.)
Just spitballin’ here, ofc. 😅
edit: I’m leaving that misspelling ^1 as it seems both poetic & fitting, given the causational global proliferation of said bird by a hapless Shakespeare fan who only wanted to recreate the bard’s local habitat to inspire himself by. I’d like to think that ol 'Bill himself’d take on wannabe-oppressors & sub-basement bigot babies all cosplaying as paramilitary heroes (“tacticool”), ya know?
