they're coming: personal security drones [View all]

It's probalby not too far off when a company will sell , or rent, drones that will follow you around, at maybe 100 to 200 feet monitoring the user with it's camera. The drone will send the video, via a cell phone link, to a home computer or perhaps to a security company's computer where the video feed will be recorded and saved. The person wears a small radio transmitter that indicates to the drone the users exact position. This will be popular with women walking across campus or anywhere they feel they want the extra security. If someone approaches who makes her feel concerned she can send a command to the drone to turn on a spotlight andor emit an audible message, something like: "Someone is approaching. Should I take action?" or "Video recording commencing".

Later more enhanced models will be available which will offer security and defense service. These would be equipped with a Tazer. If someone became threatening or accosted the user, the drone would swoop in and Taser the culprit.


... Hmm, maybe I should set up a Go Fund me page!
