The street finds its own uses for things.
The paper of record would like for you to know that “drones are increasingly being used by criminals across the country“.
Their first example is a guy who was using drones to drop IEDs on his ex-girlfriend’s property.
And they all moved away from him on the Group W bench.
Other examples are more in line with what you’d expect: drug smuggling and voyeurism. Buried in the article is a decent point: the question of who has jurisdiction over drones in flight and what can be done about them is kind of up in the air.
Where have we heard something like this before?
