Spying on Europe’s farms with satellites and drones (BBC News, link): "Ben Hayes of the campaign group Statewatch worries that Europe is rushing into the use of drones without sufficient public discussion. "We would accept the argument that there are lots of things they can be useful for, but ... the questions about what is acceptable and how people feel about drones hovering over their farmland or their demonstration - these debates are not taking place."
