If companies or officials want to use surveillance drones for anti-crime purposes in US cities, the present situation in St. Louis, MO, is a case study of how not to do it.

City officials and residents are exchanging blows with a businessman, who has privately deployed a fleet of drones to "enhance the public safety and security of residents."
