For many people, drones prompt concerns over safety, privacy

State Rep. Teresa A. Tanzi, D-South Kingstown, sponsor of a bill to regulate law-enforcement use of drones, experienced drone surveillance first-hand when she agreed to participate in a Journal demonstration. For her, knowledge proved disquieting. “Creepy” and “bizarre” were words she used to describe being watched.
“I really did think of my home as safe,” Tanzi said. “I have curtains, I have a fence, I have certain things that I thought provided me with a level of safety and privacy. I now understand these are penetrable — and relatively easily.”

Une expérience d’espionnage avec drones
We are “spying” on Teresa Tanzi. We stand on the public street outside her home in a tree-lined neighborhood, flying a drone equipped with a high-definition video camera. We are recording everything we see through its lens.
If we hid behind bushes or in a car, Tanzi probably would not see us.
And she might not see our little machine hovering among the trees, had she not allowed us to demonstrate what a drone can do — and to later describe how it feels being stalked by a robot. Tanzi, a state representative, is lead sponsor of legislation that would regulate law-enforcement use of unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs.
