I did not have a drone on my Christmas list nor did I get one, but I have been thinking about it. I know a couple of guys who have them and really enjoy a birds-eye view of things. Yesterday's Daily Post had a front page article about an eleven year-old who got one and loves it. 75 bucks! Even more interesting was the adjacent article in the Post about an attack on a guy leaving a bar in Palo Alto 2 am on Sunday.
I'll skip all the particulars except this part was interesting
The attack was captured in its entirety on a dashcam video of an unoccupied police car parked nearby, according to police.
Cheap (the dashcams are already bought and paid for, no gas or labor required to sit there) and you have a full record of the event. And it worked. Not only did it apparently help catch two guys but it also apparently exonerated two others that were with the first two when they were apprehended!
