The Chula Vista Police Department has fought to keep drone video private. An appeals court disagreed and the Supreme Court of California says it's not getting involved. The case is heading back to a trial court to decide on guidelines for releasing video. CVPD has paved the way for police departments across the country to use drones in response to emergency calls. This case started in 2021 when a local newspaper requested drone video and was denied. "The police's position was every single video captured by a drone is exempt from the public regardless if it captured a crime or not. It's an indefensible position," said Art Castanares, the publisher of La Prensa San Diego. He requested all drone footage from the department for March 2021. Chula Vista Police denied the request which Castanares says was a violation of the state's public information law. He brought it to court. It was then that a trial court voted in favor of the department.
