The first-ever recorded use of an unmanned aerial system was in 1849, when hot air balloons loaded with explosives started to be used in war. The prevailing winds carried balloons to the target area, where they fell and released the payload.

"It can have this chilling effect, where perhaps we're less comfortable going out in public and demonstrating our points of view under the fear or concern that we are being watched."

Tom Keenan, a professor in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape at the University of Calgary and author of Technocreep, The Surrender of Privacy and the Capitalization of Intimacy, took a look at the numbers provided by CPS.

During those years, drones were expensive and extensive; however, during the decade of the 60s, radio-controlled components could be miniaturized enough to be sold to civilian customers at a reasonable cost. This led to a boom in RC aeroplanes for recreational purposes.

The AMC for “enhanced containment” provisions for drones allow the applicant to declare compliance without a design verification report.

"In all cases, [drone] pilots are adhering to the Canadian Aviation Regulations and Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The safety and privacy of the public is our top priority," CPS wrote in a statement.

There's a question of accountability, here. Who is keeping the drone footage, and who is checking to see what the drone was used for? Keenan said police forces are still struggling with those questions.

Drones are expect to serve as a complement to the existing police helicopters, according to CPS. The police service uses DJI Mavic platforms for its operations.

"You're not allowed to look into somebody's house. The problem with the drone is, you can look into their backyard, maybe you can look through their windows," Keenan said.

"Are they providing people the opportunity to meaningfully participate, as in, you know that there will be drone surveillance at one of these events?"

"The primary issues have to do with transparency. Are people notifying people that they are using drones at the outset, before folks come out to a demonstration?" Konikoff said.

Later, other companies started creating different kinds of drones that were allowed for recreational purposes, among other uses.

Stunster LLC is an online retailer of self-defense, spy, security and surveillance products.

In the view of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, it gets concerning when drones are used to monitor large-scale events, like demonstrations or protests, says Daniel Konikoff, interim director of the association's privacy, technology and surveillance program.

The use of drones by police services across Canada is increasingly viewed as a method to gain a top-down perspective on investigations. But there are many who worry about the privacy implications of using such a technology, concerns the police force says it is aware of.

He cited the U.S. Supreme Court case of Kyllo v. United States. It involved federal agents using a thermal imaging device outside the home of Oregon resident Danny Lee Kyllo, whom they suspected of growing marijuana. That was deemed to be an invasion of Kyllo's privacy under the Fourth Amendment.

Nowadays, drones are widely spread; however, many people still don’t know their origin, even when all the users are now researching for the best drones in the market.

When it comes to police and surveillance technology, Keenan, the author of Technocreep, said we need to have a much more evolved view of the landscape.

CPS says it plans to add a drone co-ordinator role sometime in 2024. That person will be expected to maintain existing programs and integrate new ones.

CPS says it first began operating drones in its traffic section in 2015 for collision reconstruction investigations. It expanded their use to its tactical unit in 2020, and uses drones in its digital unit to provide footage for internal training and both internal and external media content.

He said it's "certainly legitimate" that most of the flights are for traffic incidents. If a car was about to explode, for instance, one wouldn't want officers to be in danger. Plus, drones are able to capture images from traffic incidents that wouldn't be accessible otherwise.

During the Vietnam War, the next big step in the evolution of drone technology took place because of the first widespread deployment and use of drones as dedicated reconnaissance UAVs. Drones were also used as decoys in combat, launching missiles against fixed targets, dropping leaflets for psychological operations, and gathering information in combat areas.

This 3-day event provides updates on the state of the canola industry in Canada, agronomic challenges and successes, and latest innovations.

Although the development of drones is seen as a long-distance race with no transparent creator, Abe (Abraham) Karem is considered the father of drones nowadays. He was born in Baghdad in 1937 and has grown up in Israel since 1951. From a young age, he started to show interest in aeronautics, and at the age of 14, he began to build his first aircraft model. Years later, he graduated as an aeronautical engineer from The Technion and constructed his first drone during the Yom Kippur War to the Israeli Air Force. He founded Leading Systems Inc. and is considered the founder of UAV (drone technology) because he created the robotic plane that transformed how drones were made and used in modern warfare. One of his most important creations is the Predator, whose first use was in the military, but after, it was allowed to fly in civilian airspace for search and rescue.

"Advances in technology will allow the CPS to conduct collision scene and crime scene investigations more efficiently and make first response and tactical operations safer for the public and our members," CPS wrote.

"But I worry about the category called 'tactical,' because maybe that's flying over protests. Maybe you're identifying people in the protests, or documenting things. And no camera angle is perfect," he said.

Years later, during WWI and WWII, many unmanned vehicles were built by engineers and companies. Archibald Low developed a radio guidance system for pilotless military drones; nevertheless, they were not autonomous because they had to be launched mechanically. Later, the U.A. Army built a drone, an aerial torpedo, with a circuit to shut off the engine, but they plunged to Earth during the flight. British produced lots of radio-controlled aircraft to be used for training purposes. At that moment, the term ‘’drone’’ came into use.
