S.F. police are using drones to arrest bipping suspects, officials say

Bipping? Had to google that.

"Bipping is a slang term for a type of car break-in in San Francisco that involves breaking into unattended cars with little noise. The term may have originated from the sound of breaking porcelain sparkplug pieces thrown at car windows, but today thieves more often use a rescue car escape tool called a resqme device."

Thanks, I didn’t know know either and the article is paywalled

I think using a term like that must be a specific planned clickbait technique.

It's pretty commonly used in the Bay Area, so I don't think so. Just a bit of local flavor.

I had no idea what bipping meant either, and wanted to remove it from the title (I don’t think it adds any context). Ended up keeping it just in case someone thought that would be editorializing though.

Do these people get prosecuted and imprisoned after they are arrested?

Pretty smart tactics
