You just don't have a good answer.

If someone can point out the question to me in what Ken just posted I would appreciate it.

See?
Clearly you don't have an answer. THAT in itself is an answer: your argument has no merit.
I can live with that.

How does your "right to privacy" work out when YOUR NEIGHBORS can buy a drone and intrude on your "right to privacy"?

Ken

You have to have a licence to operate a drone due to Civil Aviation Laws, and licenses are issued to organisations rather than individuals.

As for privacy, you have a right to privacy in the UK under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Right which is upheld by the European Court of Human Rights and which takes judicial precedent over national laws.

Swell, now the CROOKS are allowed buy such aerial surveillance devices, but God help us if the cops have them.


Ken

What about remote control airplanes? They have cameras and video on them

This has been in the works for a while.

I dont think you really listen to others. A neighbor/ criminal violating your privacy with drones is bad and should be dealt with.

A US cop violating your privacy with a drone leads to a no knock invasion, your dog getting shot and your family tased while being hogtied. See rhe difference?
