Re:California Police Used Stingrays in Planes to Spy on Phones by alistairSH on Thursday January 28, 2016 @10:55AM (#10988887)
In the US, it is illegal for the military to operate in a civilian law-enforcement context. The National Guard (state militias) can be called into civilian action by the state governor, but do not normally perform civilian tasks.

Helicopter ownership by police departments is common. Airplane ownership is less common, at least at the city/county level - the state police forces frequently have small planes.
