Drone footage exposed at a public web address shows how a quadcopter zoomed in on an SUV’s license plate, tracked it through traffic, then followed the driver as he exited the car and ran into an apartment complex. The suspect hid behind a vehicle, then adjusted his hiding place, yet was still visible to a second drone that arrived on the scene—one of four that tracked his location in a single hour and then captured police tackling him—all in response to what the SFPD describes as an alleged “auto boost/strip” incident, the theft of car parts or another object from a vehicle.
