Just wondering about drones

Would a drone security service offer some protection for women walking home or to their cars ?

The drones would look for the users phones gps and follow them from above

They would have to be jam proof for obvious reasons.

How is the drone monitoring the person? Who is monitoring the drone? What exactly will the drone be able to do if someone grabbed the person and dragged her off into the bushes?

Bear in mind that having the drone armed with any offensive weapon is not permitted, even using the drone itself to attack kamikaze style is never going to be permitted.

I can see drone expanding into this arena, they could be semiautonomous and alert authorities if something occurs and/or kamikaze dive at the assailant

Surely just knowing that the person is being monitored and a direct feed back to a computer somewhere would be a disincentive to do anything against the person. Use it on your kids when walking to school, gets to school gates or the bus and it whizzes back home to recharge.

Not going to be much use unless the police have fighter drones on standby.

You’d think that but extrapolating to say CCTV, CCTV doesn’t seem to do anything to crime rates, they stay ‘randomly fluctuating’.

“Five found a positive effect (decrease in offences) and three an undesirable effect (increase in crime), while in the remaining five evaluations there was no effect or evidence was unclear (Welsh & Farrington 2002: 13).”

You can’t a drone used offensively, even if controlled directly by a person remotely. Having the AI decide to do that autonomously is even a more remote chance of getting approved.

Why not just have more fixed cameras covering the streets. Inbuilt into every street light or something. People can just walk in the camera zone. Record 24/7 and keep the file for a week or two before erasing.

>>How is the drone monitoring the person?

Visual and gps

>>Who is monitoring the drone?

A security service

>>What exactly will the drone be able to do if someone grabbed the person and dragged her off into the bushes?

Take recording and contact police

no kamikaze diving

Can’t you just do that with fixed cameras and a smartphone app?

I would think a personal drone would be perceived differently to possible cameras at a shopfront. I think it will happen anyway, drones can already follow people, as prices come down someone will see a market in selling to parents guilt tripped about latch key kids and they will pay for an extra bit of security and reassurance.

Yes that will happen as well, the drones will extend that service further.

Fit them with a particle cannon or rail gun it’s the only way to be sure

Face recognition software and fixed cameras might offer a better alternative service. Especially if you set out cameras along a specified “safe path”.

Or phones have a sensor and app that be used as a DNA sniffer to help identify an attack

Having your own robot security guard might be a better idea.

But they have been known to drown themselves.

Drone cameras will work along side fixed cameras.

Yes, a safe path fitted with fixed cameras and a fast security response time.

I’m thinking more along the lines of dramatically increasing the chances of catching the attacker after the event (thereby creating a deterrent), rather than physically intervening in an attack as it happens.

Response times are important to find the attacker. Faster the better.

To be used for all sorts of other crimes and anti-social behaviour, from graffiti and street-pissing to muggings and assualts.

A fast system would allow the police to also lock into the drones camera to see any crime.

speaking of jam, I just spilt a heap of apricot going from the jar to the bread. I should wipe it up shortly, not leave it there until morning.

so like a friendly stalker then? Of the drone protecting the ladies.

but what if the stalker has his (or her or zie) own drone to stalk , to peer through the windows of a night in a non threatening way, watching always watching the steam rising on that unlocked window that you always meant to fix?

transition when are you going to change that wash cloth ?

after i’ve smeared jam on everything.
