Concern raised over UK use of drones

The use of drones in the UK will rise over the next 20 years, raising "significant safety, security, and privacy concerns", a report says.

All valid points of worry. There should certainly be no-fly zones, especially for high payload capable RPAs. The problem would be enforcing such rules.

One definite thing is that these should be banned to be flown over highly populated areas. That is a notion I will never understand: people flying drones over busy areas. Even with auto pilot/go-home features, things can get bad extremely quick.

Far more concerning to me is the loss of privacy. Not necessarily out in public, but law enforcement using them to spy on people. Hopefully they put some serious regulations in place as to how/when/why law enforcement can use them.
