Sweden’s highest court bans drones with cameras

This would surely kill low cost autonomous drones, right?<p>Assuming other non identifying technologies were used, I suspect that having multiple drones with the same technology may fail by increasing the noise with various light, sound, and radio wave methods.

Rediculus. This paranoia has to end. I don&#x27;t know wether people in general have a fear of being stalked by a racing FPV with a shoddy CMOS camera at the beach, or if they fear some lunatic strapping a handgrenade to one.<p>FPV is pretty much what makes drones fun to use, I don&#x27;t see why you would outright ban &quot;drones&quot; instead of just making regulations as to where you can fly with a camera.<p>EU will practically ban drones too in the near dystopian future. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=hCyiO6shKGI" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=hCyiO6shKGI</a>

I wonder how would this ruling apply to:<p>(1) drones with cameras that can be used for both navigation and for capturing video, but which the operator only uses for navigation<p>(2) drones with cameras that can only be used for navigation and are viewable by the operator in real-time<p>(3) drones with cameras that are used primarily for autonomous stabilization (Parrot Mini Cargo has one) but can also be used to capture photos

So long as no one is allowed to have them that&#x27;s fine. No one at all, not the police, not the kommune, not the secret service, not the army, absolutely no one.

If it doesn&#x27;t have a camera, is it really even a drone? Should just say they&#x27;ve banned drones.<p>Good fucking riddance imo.
