> A curious thing happened in Dickson on Thursday this week. A neighbour was > talking to a friend in his backyard when they became aware of a noise above > them. > > To their surprise, they saw that a drone was sitting above them, with what > looked like a camera pointing down at them. They walked out onto the street > and spotted a couple watching the skyline where the drone was flying. > > The annoyed neighbour walked down the street and asked what was going on. > They were told that the guy was from a real estate agency and the other > person was a photographer with clearance (permission) to fly over people’s > houses – backyards. > > By now they were joined by another neighbour who had heard the noise and came > to see for herself what was happening. > > In the conversation that followed, the real estate agency rep and their > photographer insisted that what they were doing was normal, that they had > been doing this (flying over neighbourhoods) for six months and that this was > the first time anyone had objected. To which was replied, “maybe this because > no-one knows this is what you are doing?” > > Part of the justification was that there was the prospect of a sale by the > real estate agency in this street. But at this point there was no such sale – > and more to the point – which was not answered, why were they flying the > drone over peoples’ backyards up and down the whole street? > > Since the incident, a couple of other neighbours have asked what that noise > was all about – and to put it politely, they are not happy. -- Kim Holburn IT Network & Security Consultant T: +61 2 61402408 M: +61 404072753 mailto:[email protected] aim://kimholburn skype://kholburn - PGP Public Key on request _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
