In the article "Invasion of the Drones" by Patricia Smith it acknowledges the issues of drones. The author touches three major issues, privacy, safety, and warfare. Drones have video cameras attached which can take photos and view the people on the streets underneath. In addition, drones can be dangerous because there are a lot of situations where drones can go out of control and crash. This could seriously injure people out on the street. Finally, people are worried that drones will take over war and make it seem like there is no consequence in bombing or shooting someone because it is through a control system.
I think the author is trying to portray that drones are used for many things, even delivering Domino's pizza. However, some people are concerned because these drones also have many scary flaws. In the article Patricia Smith says, "But the presence of thousands of these unmanned aerial vehicles in the sky also raises questions." There is also a controversy that drones flying around is against the fourth amendment. The fourth amendment protects Americans from being searched without a reason. Nevertheless, if hthere is a drone hovering over you and you are unaware it is just like being unreasonably watched and searched. Drones could be violating our U.S Constitution.
In response to what I read, I feel very unsafe knowing that a drone sent by the police, the government or the military could be watching me or flying around without me knowing. I think drones can be used for many things like delivering pizza or helping farmers at work, but if there are many risks of them being harmful they are not a good idea. People should not have to worry about a flying vehicle that is being controlled from somewhere else crashing or invading their privacy. If drones have so many negative aspects they should be banned from being used.
