The drone wars are just beginning. As this article on the Motherboard site details, the ability of cheap drones to conduct surveillance on citizens or their property increases with each year. And it’s not just governments and security services that are using drones, private citizens can buy quadrotor surveillance drones off the shelf right now. Some observers think this will lead to a great deal of wrangling in court as the legal issues of private surveillance and privacy get worked out.
