Drones have been one of the most ultimate advances in technology within the past few years. Although they’re magnificent at their jobs, they lack significantly at insulating humans' privacy and controlling air traffic.

Firstly, drones are privacy pirates. According to Redcode, “while currently there a re laws to protect individuals against people stalking or spying on them in their homes, there are no federal laws in place that would protect individuals from being spied on specifically by a drone.”
Since federal laws can’t forbid drones from stalking you, it can feel like there is no escape. How would you feel if there was drone after you with a camera? My idea to fix this almost insoluble problem is to revisit federal laws and revise/enforce

    The recent actions of David Boggs filing a federal complaint of his drone being shot down by his neighbor Mr. Merideth is starting an intriguing process of determining legal code in the United States. The main question, what should the relationship be between drones and private property? Whatever the district court’s decision is, the case will undoubtingly become a precedent for future cases revolving around unmanned vehicles and private property. It will be interesting to see how exactly this case is to be conducted. Since a crucial part of the argument rests in how far the drone was above Mr. Merideth’s property, it seems that creating a set range of how far a drone could operate from an individual’s property would raise a whole hoax of questions.…

    Seemingly without end, the war on terror relentlessly continues, but has taken on a new form. No longer is the United States military committing ground forces on enemy territories, risking American lives. Instead they are utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles, better known as drones, remotely controlled from a safe location for precision attacks against terrorists. While it is clear that the use of drones have proved advantageous for military strategists, does an increase reliance on employing targeted assassinations strengthen the United States goals as a dominant world power and overall strategic goals in reducing terrorism? In a globalized world there will be a shift from a hegemony's strength of hard power to the influences of soft.…

    What limits should be placed on law enforcement and civilian drone activity? The Fourth Amendment clearly states that the citizens of the United States have the right against unreasonable searches and seizures.

    Those in favor of drones argue that drone will benefit the community. “ The mission is to have just a few officers being able to cover arguable the entire city wherever there 's a camera and redirect resources-police on the street- to areas where they are needed as opposed to having to blanket the street with officers” (Talai, 2014, p. 5). The fear that most community members have is giving the police the ability to track down their every move without them knowing it. The officers need for discretion in these types of situations are being criticized because many believe that their fourth Amendment are being violated. “Drone surveillance is yet another tool in the arsenal of police discretion, including surveillance arrest [detention and] incarceration, and…

    In theory, this would be possible if every drone in the US had cameras and was in the air constantly, but there are many uses for drones besides surveillance and military use. Additionally, many states have already banned the use of drones for surveillance and have enforced law to protect the privacy of citizens. In Mississippi, the SB 2022 specifies that using a drone to commit any “peeping tom” activities as a felony and in Tennessee the HB 296 prohibits drones from capturing pictures or videos over certain open-air events and firework displays (Hill, "Drones: The Latest Threat to the Right to Privacy » The National Judicial College"). Just like guns, drones are as good as the people who use them.…
