Drones To Catch Vandals

             German Railway Wants Thermal-Imaging Drones To Catch Vandals

Here's yet another way drones may find their way into domestic life. Germany's national railways company, Deutsche Bahn, plans to test drones as a deterrent to people who tag trains with graffiti, the BBC reported.
The drones will patrol train depots, carrying infrared cameras to spot people in darkness. They'll be sophisticated enough to capture images with which Deutsche Bahn can identify perpetuators and prosecute them. But they may not be a sure deal, considering Germany's history of opposition to projects that seem to violate privacy, including Google's "Street View" cameras, the BBC reported.
