Perpetrators using drones to stalk victims in new age of technology fuelled harassment

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-01/drones-used-to-stalk-women-in-new-age-of-harassment/10297906

in the last month or so ive had issues with 3 drones at my home.

they dont botther me much but Foo goes crazy about them, gets very scared!

you cant see whos flying the darn things to go complain, they just suddenly appear above you.

then buzz away over the houses.

saturday i was just taking Foo out for a walk and was just in my driveway when from over my house came this drone, swooped low above us freaking Foo out then zoomed off too fast for me to see where it was as i was getting Foo back into the house.

i'm guessing that as people think they can do as they please with them pretty soon there will be laws passed controlling their use.

maybe i need a slingshot?

I'd be 100% sure the US spy ones are state of the art, while the 2018 best buys on mini drones probably sell ones that last about 2 days.

It just shows though that the age of mini drones is almost upon us. They'll get smaller & smaller & harder to detect.

We're living in interesting times, what with CCTV cameras, cameras along toll roads. phones that can log your location even when turned off etc.

There's not as much privacy as there used to be. I know sometimes all the above are good things & helpful but I think society is going to have a problem for a while in trying to strike a balance.
