Journal Entry 1: Game of Drones

I’m deep undercover at the Ohio UAS Conference. My cover story? “I’m just a part-time social work professor with an interest in drones and other new technologies.”

My real story? As part of the ACLU of Ohio legislative team (and a self-identified tech geek) I want to learn more about this technology born for the battlefield and making its way into our backyards. While there seem to be potential benefits to drones, I am very concerned about individual privacy – especially since Ohio doesn’t have laws regulating use of drones.
