In the near future as envisioned by Amazon,Massage Parlor Prostitutes (2025) little drones will sit on the shoulders of police officers like parrots on a pirate.
The company earlier this month patented the design for a tiny drone that, according to the patent filing, would be useful for a range of everyday tasks, but perhaps particularly useful for law enforcement.

Officers could have the drone perform tasks they would otherwise have to by giving verbal commands at a traffic stop such as "check plate."
In a chase, the officer could ask the drone to fly alongside him or her. Or, if the officer is running after two suspects, he could direct the drone to follow one while he tears off after the other.
During a traffic stop, the drones could hover just above or behind officers, snapping photos of license plates and whoever's behind the wheel, then feeding that information back to the department for facial recognition.
Facial recognition, by the way, is prevalent in law enforcement departments across the country. A quarter of law enforcement agencies have access to facial recognition networks, and half of American adults are already in one of those networks.
If all that sounds like it could go horribly Black Mirror on us, maybe you'll find the other potential uses for these drones more heartening.
The patent describes these drones as potential personal security cameras that can follow owners as they walk home at night, record video or call 911 if necessary.
They could search for a kid who's gone missing in a grocery store or a mall and may be able to help firefighters by using thermal imaging technology.
It's mostly theoretical for now, but Amazon's interest in drones is very real. The company has long had a plan to deliver its goods by drone.
With this patent, it's even clearer that Amazon sees a drone-filled future. And it wants those drones to be theirs.
