Subject: drone inquiry result

Commander Tennant,

I talked with1 - Right to Privacy today. Her concern was that she was sunbathing in her yard behind the PD when she saw one of our drones
flying nearby. She said she didn’t think anything about it, until the drone yawed and she saw the camera pointed at her. I told 1 - Rig... that the
drone was being tested behind the PD before taking it out to the commercial area behind Walmart. I told her there was a connection issue
with the drone, which was trying to be sorted out. I also told her the camera wasn’t connected at that point, which was one of the issues
being addressed, and we had no video feed. She appreciated the explanation.
