Numerous reports have emerged from across the city, with witnesses describing drones flying in prohibited areas, hovering over homes, and even following people in their cars. The drones have been described as small, black, and equipped with cameras. One resident reported seeing a drone following her as she walked down the street. “It was just hovering there, right above my head,” she said. “I couldn’t tell who was controlling it or what they were trying to do.” Another resident witnessed a drone hovering outside his bedroom window. “I was about to go to bed when I saw it out there,” he said. “It stayed there for a good 10 minutes before it flew away.” The drone sightings have prompted the Baton Rouge Police Department to launch an investigation. Police spokesman Cpl. Don Coppola said that while they have not received any reports of criminal activity related to the drones, they are taking the matter seriously. “We want to make sure that people feel safe and that their privacy is respected,” Coppola said. “We are working to identify the individuals responsible for these drones and determine what their intentions are.” The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has also been notified of the drone activity in Baton Rouge. The FAA has strict regulations regarding drone use, including restrictions on flying in prohibited areas and hovering over people or property. The suspicious drone activity in Baton Rouge has raised concerns about the potential for privacy violations, surveillance, and harassment. Residents are urged to report any suspicious drone sightings to the Baton Rouge Police Department or the FAA. As the investigation continues, authorities are working to determine the source and purpose of the drones and to ensure the safety of the community.
