Occupy Wall Street Gets A Surveillance Drone: The OccuCopter. Tim Pool's tireless coverage of Occupy Wall Street was frustrated only by police barricades limiting press access. But no more. The Guardian reports that Pool has purchased a Parrot AR drone he's calling the OccuCopter, that he will use to cover the Occupy protests and police action against them. A normal Parrot AR runs about three-hundred bucks, has an onboard camera and operates via iPhone, iPad, or Android, but Pool modified the Parrot's software to broadcast straight to the Internet To keep the drone up in the air with police attempting to shut it down, Pool "police-proofed" the device. "We are trying to get a stable live feed so you can have 50 people controlling it in series.

His next step is to install a 3G controller so the Parrot can be operated from anywhere in the world. From The Guardian: We asked him if he was concerned about police shooting it down.
