| description | This paper aims to analyze, from an ethical and legal point of view, the way in which drones are implemented and used for video monitoring. As such, we will focus on how drones have changed the legal landscape regarding public monitoring by state actors in situations regarding public safety, administrative and judicial tasks, but also during special events.
As such, the paper will evaluate the legal ramifications and instruments from EU and USA while comparing them to practices handled by the People’s Republic of China. Furthermore, we will consider the ethical use of drones in conducting state activities. We will scrutinize the methods used by state agents in handling their tasks with drones, by comparing legal systems, using secondary data analysis and by having descriptive and correlational quantitative research.
The article also aims to identify if enough practice (administrative and legal) has been conducted to ensure that data protection has been safeguarded and whether interstate actions could pose a threat to the rule of law. In essence, we will interpret important case law from USA and Europe regarding the usage of cameras and other video monitoring devices, stationary and mobile, and also to figure out if its applicable to drones. If said legislation or legal practice exists and if not, we will spell out if its ethical or not. |
