Authorities Respond to 'Peeping Drones'

More and more law enforcement agencies across the nation are getting calls for what they're calling peeping drones. The latest case is out of Seattle. Police in Seattle responded to a downtown apartment complex after a woman said a drone was spying on her. The woman took photos of the drone, but it was gone by the time investigators got there. They couldn't find the said person behind the controls. And a woman attacked a teenager in Connecticut for shooting video of a beach with his drone. "The technology is often outpacing the law. We see this all across the board whether it's cell phones or drone flights. Often times, the law is really fighting to catch up," said Jennifer Lynch with Electronic Frontier Foundation. The Federal Aviation Administration regulates commercial use of drones, but civilians use is permitted as long as pilots don't fly recklessly. Now Congress has asked the FAA to come up with safety guidelines for personal drones for next year.
