Surveillance drones

The BBC announced in 2015 that UK Police would start routine use of drones for mass surveillance, as part of the "war on terror". They also reported that the UK Police would take over responsibility for drone monitoring from the Civil Aviation Authority, effectively preventing oversight of drone use by UK police.
