quadcopters harassing people, says UK

"Unlicensed drones controlled by members of the public are being used to harass people, police chiefs have warned. They further warn the technology is being used in protected airspace.
Addressing the House of Lords, Chief Inspector Nick Aldworth said unmanned drones were 'undoubtedly' being used in a 'reckless' o'r malicious' way.
The Lords Internal Market, Infrastructure and Employment Committee is holding an inquiry into the civil use of unmanned aircraft.
Committee Chair Baroness O’Cathain expressed concerns about breaches of privacy caused by flying drones close to private property."

Again, I agree that there should be some sort of control over drones, especially in inhabited areas. Like any useful tool, they can be misused as well.  Hopefully this will be worked out in a positive manner.
