Headline: The Age of Drone Vandalism Begins With an Epic NYC Tag

One of New York City’s largest billboards, the Calvin Klein billboard, was vandalized. It was done in the early hours of Wednesday (4/29/2015) morning, the age of robotic graffiti was born. KATSU, a well-known graffiti artist and vandal, used a hacked Phantom drone to paint a giant red scribble across Kendall Jenner’s face on one of New York City’s largest and most viewed billboards. By all accounts, it is the first time that a drone has been deployed for a major act of public vandalism.

 . . .

All I have to say is this: Drones will very soon (my guess: by the end of the year) start requiring state or federal registration. (Much like spray paint, firearms, and postage stamps  ;D)


'Sure am glad to live in the 5th dimension!  ::)

Reminds me of the ban on drones here in The Big Sandbox, as M (embers of the local religion) were using them with cameras to watch into the windows of lovely non-M ladies. Doesn't seem to apply to the actual local citizens as they still do what they like (rare for them to be jailed or fined for anything).  :zoid:

NOTE:  I've currently returned from serving in various Middle East combat zones.  Wow, just realized how many years I've been hanging with BFM, since near the beginning!  :Chaindog:
