Local Govt to Deploy Drones

Local Govt to Deploy Drones

Drones will be deployed in a Dutch municipality to monitor whether people’s homes meet zoning regulations, monitor construction sites, and protected wildlife areas. The Dutch municipality of Deventer has been accused of wanting to usher in an Orwellian society after it revealed plans to use drones to monitor compliance with local laws such as zoning regulations or even wildlife protection. The move has been criticized by privacy groups as well as the populist pro-farmer BBB party who said: “Big Brother is watching you”.
