Humans aren't good in stressful situations and their aim isn't great. A ground view isn't necessarily helpful in situation where the criminal might be inside the group ring.

Cost of drones is only going to decrease while the cost of sustaining human life remains more or less the same if not increase.
A drone is $30k
