Don't think that the idea of Amazon.com delivering packages through the use of drones fell on deaf ears; the Mexican drug cartel is employing the use of drones to ship drugs across the Mexican border. Thugs have also been caught using drones to scope out affluent houses and businesses for the purpose of planning burglaries.
Once your mind starts down this path, it becomes easy to imagine scenarios where a drone could be put to bad use. Window peeping? Filming porno movies? You can even see a drone hanging over a bank teller's window with a loudspeaker demanding that the teller fork over the money or be shot.
The really neat thing from a crook's point of view is that you can use a drone to perform nefarious tasks and you don't have to expose yourself or your location in order to do it.
Drones are fairly cheap to acquire and retrofit for a variety of purposes. You could, for example, fish your favorite spot without hiking ten miles back into the forest to reach it. You could use one to spy on your spouse or to herd your cows.
It seems as if every time technology offers up a new product that can benefit mankind, evil forces can also make use of it. The next thing we know, Obama will be using drones to snatch our guns from our closets.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
