Over the past few years drones have evolved from toys to powerful tools that can be used by pretty much everybody. Armies use them for scouting and aerial spotting, coast-guards — as coastal patrol. When it comes to mapping the accident site and locating victims lifeguard sends drones ahead. Unmanned flying vehicles disarm old mines, trace poachers and even spy on the famous Area 51.
Quad-, hexa- and other multi-copters nowadays can be purchased for next to nothing. This cost brings up a lot of privacy concerns. Small wonder, as drones could fly everywhere and record almost everything their owner wants them to! As soon as everybody understood that it’s rather hard and almost useless to spy after the neighbors with the help of average consumer drones some fears subsided.
