How to Avoid Inappropriate Moments Being Captured
For those that care about their privacy over the use of drones, there are always practical steps that can be taken to minimize the chances of inappropriate moments being captured. First, one has to know the areas where drones are most likely to be in operation. Drones have a much more alarming presence of being used in public parks, sports arenas, and among big tourist destinations. So people within those areas should be concerned about the actions they are involved in with regard to intimate times.
Owners and operators of drones and personal photographers should respect guidelines and laws on the use of drones. No flying over private property, especially when it falls under residential areas without prior permission. One must also respect people’s right to privacy. When recording, one must respect the content as appropriate, considering everyone around one in situations captured within the shot, such as sensitive or personal moments.
But above all, people can also act in protection of their own privacy by regulating those who might deploy the drones in public places. Actually, if a drone is hovering over a certain area recording the view, it is perfectly fine to ask the person operating it to stop or get it away. One needs to be aware of his rights and proactive about his privacy; therefore, capturing unwanted moments will not be released without consent.
