Ohio State Patrol Testing Out Air Patrol
/
According to a report by Spectrum News 1 in Cleveland, the Ohio State Highway Patrol is testing an air patrol in Fairfield County, which could be expanded to 10 counties by the end of the year.
With the ability to observe a radius of several miles, the plane has a camera, mapping system, GPS and vehicle speed measurement system.
“The pilot is maintaining an orbit over a certain area, the area that we are focused on, and the pilot is looking for erratic driving behavior,” S/Lt. Justin Cromer, OSHP aviation commander, told Spectrum News.
This is just one more reason to avoid driving under the influence, as eyes are now on the road and in the sky.
