Drones, available in high street stores and through mail order, are small, agile and can be precisely controlled from a distance. They can be fitted with powerful cameras equipped with zoom lenses which can feed video back to their operator.
This makes them popular with hobbyists, but also ideal for use as illegal surveillance tools by paparazzi, criminals, stalkers and private detectives.
