If you're talking about the "speed limit enforced by aircraft" signs, they don't do that anymore. But they do still have spy planes and choppers for tracking criminals. Well, hopefully they're using them only for criminals. They did just put up a bunch of license plate readers that will track everyone who goes by them.

They are using it to spot stolen cars and review after crimes (shootings for example) take place.

I know why they're doing it. It doesn't change the fact that they set them all up around black neighborhoods.

Maybe the people who live there are tired of getting their cars stolen or unsolved crime and asked the police to do something?

I would rather not waste tax-funded resources on low crime areas. It's like spraying water where there's no fire. Crime doesn't have a color.
