(CNN) Police near Minneapolis used drones last week to check if sunbathers at a lakeside beach were breaking the law by going nude or topless. The Golden Valley Police Department used the high-tech surveillance devices at Twin Lake on July 10 after receiving complaints from the public, city communications director Cheryl Weiler told CNN. "When the police are called to the park it's because someone has complained." The somewhat secluded beach is known for being "a safe place to just be comfortable," Elsie Olin, a frequent visitor, told CNN affiliate WCCOPolice Sgt. Randy Mahlen told WCCO that using drones "would be no different than a surveillance camera in a public place for a high-crime area."
