"Mary Dunham has gotten used to seeing drones flying around Gorham, where she lives, but this week was the first time one followed her.
She didn’t like it.
On two consecutive days, Dunham, 43, called police to report the suspicious drone surveillance. But each time, officers told her there wasn’t much they could do. Her experience underscores the fact that, as drones have become more and more popular among everyday Americans, the devices remain little regulated."

some things about this story don't seem right.  There ARE rules, like needing permission before flying over private property, not flying over people without permission, etc.  Also, 8 miles is a long way for a regular quadcopter to fly.  So i'm not sure this is all correct here. Still, this kind of stuff is no doubt happening.
