I went for a walk today between appointments and passed a golf course where a guy had a golf bag that followed his every move. If he stopped walking it stopped and as soon as he started walking again it started following him again. My guess is this technology has been around for some time now.

Woman Sees A Drone Hovering Outside Her Window While She's Changing

Lisa Pleiss lives in Washington and one day while she was changing, she noticed a drone hovering outside her apartment window.

" It was freaky," Pleiss told CNN. "You don’t expect to be walking around indecent in your apartment and have this thing out there potentially recording you."

Pleiss was able to take a photo of the drone, below. But it wasn't easy. As soon as she took out her camera, she says the drone "swooped" out of frame.

"It made me think they were looking at me because the [drone owners] were reacting to my actions," she says. Pleiss says she saw two men who appeared to be controlling the device quickly drive off.

Here's the drone:

Castanet news website drone stopped near wildfire in Okanagan

A drone belonging to Okanagan news website Castanet.net was stopped by fire officials on Sunday, after the operator tried to get closer to a wildfire near Peachland, B.C.

Fire information officer Kayla Pepper says the technology can be dangerous. "If a drone was flying in the area and came into contact with our helicopters, that could be potentially fatal, and it can distract crews on the ground with the complex situations they are dealing with,' said Pepper. "For a number of reasons these devices are prohibited...it's not just wildfire management policy but also the policy of Transport Canada."

The use of drones is controlled by Transport Canada, which issues Special Flight Operating Certificates for approved operations.

The number of drone permits issued in B.C. annually has risen from just six in 2007 to 178 in 2013.

Some just do not have any common sense or just idiots.

Most people dont' realize that when there's a fire, the fire service has control of the airspace over the area and no one and nothing is allowed without their permission.

True story - I was suntanning in my bikini at a rec site beside a lake in an area that had recently been burned up by a forest fire, out in the wilderness behind Big White mountain a few years ago. A forestry service helicopter did a low fly by several times, which seemed a bit creepy really. :no:

A short while later, a pickup truck full of forest fire fighters pulled up and informed me that I was trespassing because it was still an active fire zone. That's when the fire warden explained to me about them having control of the airspace too, while I sat there in my teeny tiny blue bikini ... lol.

:wink2:
