Last Saturday, a drone
crashed into the football stadium of University of Kentucky. The drone crash
occurred during the Wildcats home opener performance. The crash took place in
an empty area at Louis Armstrong stadium. The drone’s operator was arrested
with charges of recklessness operation and endangerment to those in the area.
Normally, drones are
used for shooting off items such as t-shirts and backpacks during big events.
Those who operate the drones are novices with very little experience.
Luckily, those who
attended the football game were not injured in any way due to the drone crash.
However, a crash like that should never have happed in the first place, in my
own opinion. The American public could use this incident as an example to
prevent future occurrences.
Unmanned drones are being used to spy on private organizations and competitor companies. Many sports teams have been known to use drones to spy on their rivals. For example, FIFA was investigating a spotted drone during France's practice.

Not only can drones be potentially harmful to those in its presence, but the domestic use of flying drones has become a threat to privacy and a possible fourth amendment violation in America today.
