Drones At Home And The Drone As Privacy Catalyst By Ryan Calo

OBASEKI IDEMUDIA SPECIAL TOPICS Since the invention of the plane and other flying machines, there has been the thought of making an unmanned flying machine. Today we know our unmanned aerial vehicles by another name: drones. In my paper I will be using both Colonel Dawn Zoldi’s article about drones at home and â€Å"The Drone as Privacy Catalyst†, by Ryan Calo to evaluate privacy-related matters that people should consider when it comes to drones. Zoldi’s analysis of how the government can help with personal privacy and unwarranted use of unwarranted searches will aid my own analysis. I will focus on drones and how they relate to the fourth amendment, taking a nuanced approach to operational purpose, renewing focus on collection, dissemination and retention, molding the remedy to the violation, drone as privacy catalyst and finally adding my own thoughts and criticisms about how this could possibly affect privacy. My first area to discuss is applying the fourth amendment of the United States Constitution to drones at home. We notice the trend of how drones are becoming more popular and easier to purchase at commercial stores. We could see how people use drones for a multitude of different reasons: from a distance to record an event, look over their fence without going over etc. This could become a problem because this violates the fourth amendment, which provides â€Å"the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonableShow MoreRelatedThe Wild, Engineering Technology ( 17509637 ) 9.7 ( 2014 )3767 Words   |  16 Pages(SACAA) banned privately owned drones with cameras in South African airspace.
