The California Supreme Court has denied Chula Vista's request to review a lower court ruling that could make the city's Police Department release some of its drone footage to the public.
The state's highest court has denied Chula Vista 's request that it review a lower court ruling that could force the city's Police Department to make some of its drone footage public. For several years, Chula Vista has used drones to get a real-time look at a scene minutes before police officers can arrive. The department started using drones as part of an FAA test program aimed at figuring out how to safely integrate drones into national airspace.
A Chula Vista city spokesperson noted Friday that the appeals court 'did not rule that the City must disclose any videos at this time, nor did it grant any relief to the individual who requested the videos.' The city declined further comment because the litigation remains active. David Loy, legal director of the First Amendment Coalition, said the appellate court found that drone video footage is not categorically exempt from disclosure as an investigatory record.
