Drones: Good technology or Privacy Invasion?

  Drones also referred to as Unmanned Aircraft System was invented primarily for Military purposes, but has grown exponentially over the years and is now being utilized in domestic situations to improve the safety of communities.

1. They are used to save lives: Whether the situation is man-made or natural, the drone can positioned to survey damage, stranded and injured victims.
2.  To aid law enforcement and fire department

• Locate lost children
• provide surveillance 
• suspect tracking
• assist in accidents
• locate bush (brush)/wild land fires- verify the extend of the fire
• monitor large crowds
• monitor persons who are suspected to be a threat to national security

     3. They can give media access to hard-to-reach places. 

Despite the aforementioned benefits of the drone, i consider it to be an invasion of privacy: 

1. Persons are constantly being monitored, 
2. Persons who are suspected to be a threat to national Security are under constant surveillance - 24/7 they are incapable of living a normal. Drones monitor what they do, where they go and who they talk to". Even though you are not guilty of a crime,
3. Media will have access to restricted crime scene.

Your movements will be basically "restricted" to your home; however, your home is still not safe. See-through-imagery are installed on drones, you will have to be-careful what you say or do in the place where one suppose to feel safe.  No Place Is Safe.
