Combat use
Drone technology was developed for use by militaries in combat, then rolled out for use on civilians.
Non-combat use
In 2015, North Dakota became the first use state to allow Police use of drones armed with less than lethal weapons such as tasers, rubber bullets and tear gas after a last-minute push by a lobbyist.[1]
Surveillance drones
The UK Police report that drones have already proved useful in searching for missing people.[2] 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, preventing any effective oversight of drone use by UK police.[3]
Monitoring workers
In 2015, drones were used to capture video footage that shows construction progress at the Sacramento Kings’ new stadium in California. Drones capture video which is fed into a computer to create a 3d model of the progress of the construction.[4]
