The idea of police drones flying over Nevada has attracted a great deal of media and public attention over the past few weeks even though no drones are FAA-licensed for use in our state.
Today’s communication follows a March 21, 2012 meeting between the ACLU of Nevada, Sheriff Doug Gillespie and other Metro officials, the NAACP of Las Vegas, and new Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson, at which the ACLU of Nevada presented Metro with a preliminary draft of its recommendations during a long and wide-ranging meeting.
On March 5, 2012 the ACLU of Nevada sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice reiterating its request for a patterns and practices investigation, under federal civil rights law, of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada and the NAACP of Las Vegas on Friday submitted a petition to the U.S. Department of Justice calling for the federal department to conduct a “patterns and practices” investigation of the Metropolitan Las Vegas Police Department.
