How has drone technology impact our lives as a society? American citizens fear the lost of their privacy as the result of the use of drones. Many individuals are worried about the information drones collect as it flies over their property. This creates a burden on society. As mentioned by Paul, “the domestic use of drones to spy on Americans clearly violates the Fourth Amendment and limits our rights to personal privacy”.

As this technology continues to evolve rapidly, it is not only known to America but all over the world. It has become a multi billion million industry. United States was the first country to use true-armed drone in combat back in 2001 (Walker, J). Countries such as the United States, Israel, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, Iraq, Nigeria, Iran, Turkey, and Azerbaijan have armed drones in their military; in total there is about 28 countries. Today drones are being used in the film industry. Many producer prefer to invest in drones because it allows them to capture videos from areas where they usually cannot, also it is cheaper. As the drone industry continues to evolve and releasing better drones the film industry has greatly benefit from this. The film industry claim that drones “could open up new possibilities of filmmaking in much the same way that lightweight cameras did in the 1960s” (Verrier, R). Drone has make is possible for filmmakers to capture video shots for movies and commercial in hard to reach areas in a more cost effective way as well as saving …show more content…

Businesses and individuals are investing in this technology, whether it is for recreational purposes or business purposes. As of August 29 2016, the Federal Aviation Regulations “Part 107” rule regarding small UAV systems, “has allowed anyone who follows the rule and the operations permits to fly drones for civil, commercial and recreational purposes in the United States” (Wynne, B). As a result of Part 107, in order for businesses to be able to fly they had to ask the Federal Aviation Administration for permission to do so. Because of Part 107 rule there is about 85,000 drones registered with the federal Aviation Administration for civil and commercial uses (Wynne, B). In about five years there will be more than 400,000 drones flying, civil and commercial

Drones look like little remote control helicopters but with cameras in them. Some people fly these just for fun, but sometimes they can be used in the military. However, they have been seen to be becoming an invasion of privacy. Recently, there was a Kentucky man who shot down a drone that was hovering over the houses in his neighborhoods. In an article, he was asked and interviewed about the situation and said, “...To me, it was the same as trespassing”(Hawkins).

Our Innocent Lives At Stake A drone strike can kill a person in one room of a house, also people in the room next door, to even across the street like a school. There has been cases where the drones have had civilians attacked while along the intended target. These were all unplanned deaths, all innocent deaths. I oppose the use of drones in warfare. From all the drone strikes killing innocent people or putting their lives at stake and ours, is a horrendous movement, that’s why in my opinion I think we shouldn’t have drones.

US NEWS informs us, “Drones in Seattle and Miami are equipped with video cameras capable of taking daytime and nighttime video, as are drones used by the Texas Department of Public Safety.” In 1989 Supreme Court decision ruled that police may use helicopters to peer into semiprivate areas including the backyard of a house without first obtaining a warrant. The Congressional Research Service furthermore states “The legal issues discussed in this report will likely remain unresolved until the civilian use of drones becomes more widespread”. The fourth amendment prohibits any search and seizures without a warrant.

Perhaps the single most significant new military technology is remotely controlled drones. Military drones have uprooted the traditional ideas of what war was thought to be and have planted the seeds of a new era of warfare. Much like the advent of gunpowder or the iron ship, drones signal a turning point in the way wars are fought. While this method of war does have negative aspects, they are vastly outweighed by the benefits. The use of military drones, while easy to exploit, is beneficial and likely the most useful new technology in use by the U.S. military today.

Domestic militarized drones have the potential to be disastrous for the civil liberties of American citizens. Many Americans agree with this, as stated in Evan Slinger’s article on Christian Science Monitor, “.... domestic drone surveillance might erode civil liberties, and degrade the political fabric of the United States. To some extent the American public knows this is the case and is invested in moving forward carefully.” America’s citizens have already witnessed first-hand how there are parts of our government that have overstepped their boundaries by engaging in surveillance of the domestic population. America needs to cut back on their monitoring of citizens because with the current Status Quo, American citizens have no privacy

Drones kill fewer civilians than any other military weapon but drone strikes target individuals who may not be terrorists or enemy combatants and drone strikes mostly kill low-value targets who are not significant threats to US safety and security. Even with the copious amounts of surveillance conducted on these individuals that are possibly terrotists, the drone attacks on them do not seem justified because of the lack of physical evidence that these individuals were a threat to the United states or to any country. Although drone strikes are legal in the United States and are subject to a strict review process and congressional oversight, drone strikes violate international law. Massive surveillance industrial complex post 9/11, has had many negative and positive effects through out the past decade. The meaning of our laws and policies have not been able to keep pace with the advances in technology or the development of surveillance as a whole.

Future of Policing With the advancement of technology, many law enforcement agencies are beginning to realize the benefits of using a drone to fight crime. Aerial vehicles give agencies the ability to get to places where it would be costly or dangerous for police officers to go. Drones allow law enforcement personnel to achieve vision of restricted areas through a conventional security camera, to follow any suspect without limitations, and to have GPS tracking. There are certain pros and cons that come with the usage of drone and aerial technology. Another form of technology that law enforcement agencies are taking advantage of is Biometric technology.

Are the drones invading privacy of American citizens? “The current Fourth Amendment jurisprudence that confronts unreasonable searches allows for the free, unlimited, and warrantless monitoring of people while they travel on public thoroughfares. Although people have no expectation of privacy while traveling on public thoroughfares, new technology in the form of drones makes this monitoring easier and more cost-effective for law enforcement agencies than ever before. A fleet of drones can monitor, record, and track large groups of citizens' movements on public thoroughfares and intrude into the lives of Americans in a way that has never been possible. This type of intrusive monitoring threatens the constitutional guarantees of the Fourth Amendment” (Crofty, 2014 p. 220).

When we think about drone or UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), first thing comes to our mind is; frightening, alien looking unmanned aircraft that has been involved with so many bombings and targeted killings. In “Drone Home: What Happens When Drones Return to America”, from Time, Lev Grossman wrote drones are dreaded all around the globe, and possibly they have gotten this fear through the United States Military. Drone technology has been greatly improved last decade, now third of entire Air Force’s fleet is unmanned. U.S Government is sending drones to many war zones to eliminate high-ranking enemies or do surveillance successfully.

The domestic use of drones by the government has increased over the years. Unfortunately drone surveillance use remain unregulated due to slim privacy and civil liberty restrictions at federal level. With the advancement of surveillance technologies, drones will be used to track our every move violating our privacy. New drone systems such as the ARGUS-IS (Autonomous Real-time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance Imaging System) are being equipped with five-megapixel smartphone camera sensors. Yiannis Antoniades, an engineer who developed ARGUS-IS, stated “You can see individuals crossing the street.
