Reckless or criminal uses of drones are on the rise and police forces have reported "a spike" in the number of drone-related incidents in the UK, mirroring the growth in the technology's popularity. This ranges from hobbyist operators fined for "flying dangerously" and a rise in close-calls with manned aircraft, to incidents of drones ferrying drugs into prison and even unspecified "sexual offences". Authorities around the world have also warned of the growing use of drones by hostile actors, including insurgents and terrorists.
