Smugglers Using Drones to Smuggle Contraband into Prisons

With technology advancing at an alarming rate, the common criminal is advancing as well. New technological advances in drones are allowing criminals to use these drones to smuggle cell phones, drugs, weapons, and other illicit materials into prisons. The major problem to prisons are the cell phones and the chargers. With these cell phones, prisoners can communicate with people outside without anybody being able to monitor their call. When people get arrested, you lose the right to cell phones and other luxuries to the outside world, until your sentence is up.

This is a blog about how people are using drones to smuggle contraband into prisons, along with the other advantages and disadvantages of drones. I chose this topic, because the topic interests me. I have a neighbor who flies drones, and when I first saw it, I thought they were awesome. I believe drones will be a major advantage to us in the future, but not without many risks that come along with it. 

Drones

I started this blog and my research on drones smuggling contraband into prisons, but it started to branch off topic as I went along. Not only are drones helping inmates, but they have the ability to ruin our personal privacy. I am somebody who believes that when I am in my house or on my property I have the right to privacy. These drones have a very high powered camera on them that can watch you from so far up that you would never notice them. Our military is one of the number one users of drones. They are making airstrikes and bombings possible without putting anybody in harms way. With the recent attacks from ISIS, it is very plausible to thing terrorist attacks with the use of drones is in the very near future. I chose this topic, because I would like to spread awareness about the downfalls of drones.
