No one should have to worry about warrantless police drones spying on their backyard sunbathing.

1. Backyard Privacy in the Age of Drones
  
  from Hannah Zhao
  
  Police departments and law enforcement agencies are increasingly collecting personal information using drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles. In addition to high-resolution photographic and video cameras, police drones may be equipped with myriad spying payloads, such as live-video transmitters, thermal imaging, heat sensors, mapping technology, automated license plate readers, cell site simulators, cell phone signal interceptors and other technologies. Captured data can later be scrutinized with backend software tools like license plate readers and face recognition technology. There have even been proposals for law enforcement to attach lethal and less-lethal weapons to drones and robots.

In a next step, a further 30 drones will be procured for the #traffic #accident #investigation #teams.

  @eff This one ends with anonymous drones shooting down the official government ones. That in turn will become a problem that the government will "Crack down on any day now!" .... "any day now" ....
