At its Aug. 6 Regular Meeting, the Beverly Hills City Council voted 4-1 to oppose Senate Bill 99, which would ban the use of several of the Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) drones.
The bill is authored by Senator Tom Umberg, D-Santa Ana, and would prevent cities from purchasing military equipment from any manufacturers that the United States Armed Forces is prohibited from purchasing. This bill would apply to several of BHPD’s drones, which are produced by Chinese manufacturer DGI.
