Drone Hunters Lining Up and Paying Out In Colorado

Posted by samzenpus on from the shoot-it-down dept.

    No problem. Get a license to fly that thing over there where you have to state a reason and have the county/city permit it. Make the government do the same. Pass a law that it may not be used to stalk or harass anyone (or why should you be allowed to fly a drone over your ex' house to see who she dates now?). Make records public of who obtained such a license and for what purpose.

    That would already be enough to make sure my paranoia sleeps well tonight.
