Do Creeper Drones Have Rights?

It's pretty much the meat and potatoes of science fiction, particularly science fiction that is neither Galactic Space Opera nor Alien Invasion: A new technology appears and humans react to it in various ways that display their humanity or lack thereof. The number of tropes associated with this plotline is virtually without end, although the movie Chappie works pretty hard to cram every one of them into a hundred minutes or so.

As the pace of change in our current nonfictional situation accelerates, however, many of us are likely to find that same sci-fi plotline directly impacting our personal lives. Consider how many marriages were obliterated by Facebook's decision to allow non-students. It's kind of staggering if you look back at it. Hundreds of thousands of people used FB to hook up with their ex-girlfriends and high-school crushes and so on. The existence of a website, a thing that has very little reality in the conventional sense attached to it, directly led to broken homes and suicides and miserable children and lifelong trauma.

Yes, before you ask, I did hook up with a few people off Facebook. I'm not proud of it.

Well, I'm still pleased about a few of them. There was this blonde...

So, consider this sci-fi scenario: A robot appears in the sky and begins photographing your neighbor's daughter as she sits out next to your neighbor's pool. Then it drifts over to your pool and your daughter. What do you do?

I'll tell you what they do in Kentucky: they load up a shotgun with a #8 bird shell and you blast that mother out of the sky. So. Was he right or wrong? It's very interesting to see the jobs listed by the people on both sides of the debate. It's not quite as simple as "tech geeks think drones should be allowed to photograph anything they want" and "families are terrified at the idea of being stalked by drones" but it's not not that simple, if you get what I'm saying.

My opinion is that if there's a drone over your house you should be allowed to destroy it. Even if that drone belongs to a local, state, or national government. What say you, dear readers?
