Head of Road Safety Research Center, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Associate Professor Dr. Law Teik Hua said, it is a good initiative to combat traffic-related offences and criminal conduct.

He said the drones can capture road traffic incidents which can be used for investigating purposes, such as traffic offences and car crashes. He said the evidence would be recorded by the drone itself.

"When reacting to a traffic incident, police officers need to have recorded footage. A video taken at the scene will serve as actual proof of the incident. The video aids court officials in determining whether the victim is entitled to compensation.

"Police drones also help officers perform better, whereby the precision of police operations is improved when situations are recorded. Due to the existence of the recorded video, police officers obtain greater trust and cooperation," he added.
