Is "technology" good or bad? Of course it is how it is used that can be "good or bad". We are in this forum by our interest in sUAV technology largely biased to see the "good".

- finding a lost child
- crop survey
- making neat videos

BUT just consider this........................ multirotor/FPV/video is at it's heart a stealth surveillance platform, Does it have great potential for criminal use. you bet.

Don't misunderstand me, I AM NOT calling for a ban, licensing, harsh regulation. What is needed is a open discussion on the benefits / problems so there are fewer "unanticipated consequences".
