The Montgomery County, Texas Sheriff’s Office attempted to feature their new $300,000 aerial drone but ended up failing miserably. Once the prototype drone reached about 18 feet in the air, it lost control and crashed into a SWAT team’s armored vehicle. Since the drone was paid for by the Department of Homeland Security, it is likely to be replaced soon.
