Vancouver Woman Fears Drone Was Trying to Snap Photos of Her Suntanning Topless on Balcony

More drones!

At Toronto's National Post, "Vancouver woman says drone appeared to be trying to get images of her suntanning topless on balcony":
A Vancouver woman is distressed after a drone appeared to be trying to capture images of her suntanning topless on her private balcony, sparking concerns about irresponsible drone use.

Kathryn Redford, 30, lives on the second floor of an eight-storey apartment near West 4th Avenue and Pine Street in the Kitsilano neighbourhood.

Her secluded balcony is shielded by a brick wall on one side and a large tree on the other side which allows only a “sliver” of sunlight into the otherwise private balcony.

There are no apartment buildings across the street from Redford, and the inside of the balcony is not visible from street level.

Redford was reading and suntanning topless on her balcony floor Wednesday around 2:30 p.m., as she’s done before, when she heard the “unmistakable” sound of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

A yellow quadcopter with a small flashing light appeared by her balcony, in the “sliver” of space between her building and the tree and hovered for about 10 seconds.

In shock, Redford covered herself with her book and watched as the UAV took off. As she gathered her things to retreat inside, the UAV re-appeared and this time, remained for about 30 seconds...
Well, I guess that does it for topless sunbathing in Vancouver!

Still more.
