Private Ownership of Drones in Jeopardy
This is a rant combined with the marvel of the potential of unmanned drones. As with all new inventions and technology, the potential for abuse and criminal intent is possible.
The picture you see is of a 4 prop helicopter drone capable of video and still shot surveillance. This device certainly could be used by law enforcement to monitor and record crime scenes in progress without the necessity of police officers putting their lives at risk or at least to be aware of the specific details of the crime scene.
Can you imagine the deterrent effect these drones would have on would be criminals knowing that their every move was being filmed along with the route of their getaway car?
The clamoring privacy advocates certainly have a different point of view. A couple in California believes a drone owner in their neighborhood filmed the couple having rough sex in their backyard. The manner in which the wife discovered this was beyond shocking. She was, apparently, surfing adult web sites and viewed her and her husband in the act at a particular adult site! After her anxiety attack abated, she got busy trying to determine the author of the video which she concluded had to be from a drone because of the shaky, vibrational, and aerial nature of the video.
I don't know if this embarrassed couple were ever able to identify the airborne voyeur, but their experience is a strong argument for making private ownership of drones illegal notwithstanding rigorous background checks and certification measures for potential private drone owners.
Finally did you read about the drone that was destroyed in Los Angeles after the hockey game?
