When will a criminal freak out against either another criminal, rival gang, local PD, etc... and decide his answer is either solo or outright swarm drone terrorism?How does the LEO/state/fed police action work in this scenario as far as tracking or stopping the bullshit, do they have an ELINT/SIGINT truck?How insane is the response when they "geolocate the perp"? Missiles barring any collateral concern? Roll a tank on the house?Do we do anything to stop this?And for the fun part:How fast do cope nets go up?
>me when signal jammers become commonplace and everyone stops using their phones in public because they don't work so we revert to a 2004 level of social interaction
>>65170703I'm surprised the skies aren't filled with Fenty-copters. If you're just doing 3-4 block hops, isn't it a very secure delivery?
>>65170705How do you exchange payment with a drone carrying a dime bag?
Arson by drone is also a terrifying and very likely future.>>65170707I suppose it hovers, open-actuates a claw, you stick money in it and it close-actuates the claw and floats away?
>>65170712And then I assume a second drone comes by with the product? Not a bad idea, but then gangbangers would carry large rakes to take the drones out as they lowered to exchange goods / money.>Arson by drone is also a terrifying and very likely future.Yeah that's a problem. Flyover attacks using napalm jelly cans and an electric arc lighter.
We can stop having wars. No longer create horrors beyond our comprehension
>>65170717Not just how difficult and sneaky immediate arson is, but it can get there and park for a few days hiding and THEN go off.

>>65170703People will just switch to playing RuneScape on Dial-Up modem servers. You either have social skills or you don't.
>>65170760Jedi Knight II had more bullletin board posted lobbies than connections on it's own server list. I liked it too, I'll go back.
>>65170707>>65170712>>65170717Virtual wallets are a thing. Just wire a transfer to Emilio's Car Wash™®© Ltd. and then the drone drops the product.
Drones have many many issues when committing crimes that don't translate as well when using them as piloted missiles. The drone offers a MASSIVE point of failure in crime. They often record a lot of data that would make it easy to track if caught by law enforcement. Not to mention even if it isn't captured it could just straight up fail. Being far away doesn't mean complete operational safety.Remember most crime is low skill, opportunistic and routine in nature. People willing to commit crimes are not innovators, otherwise they'd probably be doing something else. If current methods already work at tolerable risk and high profit there's no reason to innovate. Paying a patsy to deliver drugs is way cheaper and less prone to failure than trying to do it by drone and less visible. Many crimes succeed because they blend into normal social activity, can't do that with a drone.You'll see drones used more for border smuggling and cartel reconnaissance. But truthfully you won't see it in other environments. They simply don't improve the offender's overall risk reward enough to displace simpler, socially embedded methods.
>>65170760Good.
>>65170830One thing they do offer is giving explosive firepower to groups who otherwise wouldn't have it, especially in the US where grenades and RPGs are heavily regulated. Even with something as simple as a flour bomb strapped to them, and organized crime groups now have something that can semi-reliably stop a vehicle in its tracks, even a lightly-armored one.
>>65170703I will not talk to you, you can't make me.
>>65170880>flour bombYou mean dust explosive, i assume? Don't those kinda need an enclosed space to not just be a big fireball with little effect?Don't think sawdust or flour can do what a thermobaric would...
>>65170911No they won't. Drones just don't have a big enough payload to do that in a civilian market. You kind of need something like a grenade on a string.
>>65170914You and >>65170830Have a point. Which is why arson drone would end up being more likely. And the track of the data is definitely a thing, it's not like T-John on the block is a drone genius.But it's the same social order disturbance (to them) as a drive by. Until it happens and they see their homie get ATF charges. But they don't think.A Ted Kaczynski has happened before too. That kind of nut MIGHT launch a drone wave... and fuck what would a 50 drone bomb swarm do to people's psyche?
>>65170767You can already buy drugs online and have them delivered though the mail, drone delivery just makes it even safer for both parties.
