Wanna bet that thing is equipped with a camera to alert whoever is controlling it if anyone is violating SD? Big Brother has arrived in the ROK. Perhaps even worse, the camera on the drone is connected to a system with facial recognition software and can snap your pic like a traffic camera does and send you a ticket in the mail and you’ll never know it until you get the letter. Or something even more Orwellian, they send you a text alert and give you 24 hours to pay or contact the office or they’ll disable your phone. Yes, I woke up in a conspiracy theory mood this morning. Hehehe.
