The NYPD is expanding its drone fleet for use in search and rescue, earthquake inspections, and as first responders to 911 calls. The hosts discuss the privacy implications of these "game-changing" surveillance tools and jokingly suggest wrist-rocket slingshots as a civilian countermeasure.
The episode closes with a series of audio remixes and satirical clips, including a parody of President Biden's speech patterns and a "Cotton Eyed Joe" mashup. The mixes touch on NYPD drone surveillance, "hard landings" in Iran, and a comedic take on "electionists" versus "erectionists." The hosts sign off with their traditional "Adios mofos" and "A hui hou."
NYPD Drone Initiative, Drones as First Responders
The NYPD is expanding its fleet of 85 drones through a new "Drones as First Responders" initiative, which integrates the aircraft into the 911 call system. Drones will be autonomously dispatched to crime scenes in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Central Park to provide real-time aerial surveillance. Officials claim the technology is a "game changer" for search-and-rescue and crowd control.
NYPD Drone Surveillance and the Defund the Police Movement
The NYPD announces the use of drones to monitor large gatherings and backyard parties during the Labor Day weekend. Mayor Eric Adams defends the program as a safety measure, while privacy advocates criticize it as invasive. The hosts argue this increased surveillance is a direct consequence of the "Defund the Police" movement leading to a reliance on technology over personnel.
No Agenda producer Adam Atiyah, known as Knight Sam, was arrested in New York City on 56 counts including criminal possession of a forged instrument and grand larceny. Atiyah gained notoriety for a "Banksy-level" art project where he placed realistic-looking drone warning signs and NYPD surveillance posters in bus stops and street signs. The arrest also involved a weapons charge for an unloaded .22 caliber rifle found during a house search.
An artist knighted in Hoboken, New Jersey, created realistic metal street signs mimicking official NYPD warnings about drone surveillance and strike zones. These signs, which include phrases like "Local Statutes Enforced by Drones," were placed in public areas alongside quotes from the Founding Fathers. The project is described as "Banksy-style" conceptual performance art intended to raise awareness about domestic drone activity.
