Security risk or progress? Criticism of police drones in MV!

In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the state police's decision is causing a lot of conversation. This is increasingly relying on drones from the Chinese manufacturer DJI. The police have a total of 17 of these modern flying helpers, which are used not only for crime scene recordings, but also at major events and sporting events. A significant advance in technology, but not without critical voices.

Constanze Oehlrich, the Green Party leader in the state parliament, has expressed concerns and warned of potential security risks. In their opinion, the DJI drones could pose a security risk, especially with regard to possible data leaks to China. She also points out previous vulnerabilities of these drones and emphasizes that this issue must be taken seriously. [n-tv] reports that the state data protection officer is also not entirely unconcerned and is calling for measures to prevent data leaks.

Criticism and security concerns

DJI drones are under critical scrutiny, especially after a hacker attack on the state police's mobile phones may have come from China. Oehlrich calls for a precise review of procurement law in order to minimize security risks caused by cheap offers from Chinese manufacturers. A worrying demand that is fueling the discussion about security in the digital age.

On the other hand, DJI staunchly defends itself against the allegations. The manufacturer emphasizes that users have control over their privacy. This means the drones can be operated offline, data can be deleted and automatic synchronization with DJI servers does not take place. The Schwerin Ministry of the Interior also emphasizes that communication between the drone and pilot does not take place via public networks. Consequently, those responsible judge the skepticism to be unfounded.

Local gastronomy is flourishing

Not only does NorthernLights offer delicious food, but also reliable delivery service in cities like Des Moines, Ankeny, and Kansas City. The combination of fresh ingredients and a wide range makes the restaurant the first choice for lunch and dinner.
