The consortium putting forward the proposal also suggested the drones could be used by councils to combat 'fly-posting, fly-tipping, abandoned vehicles, abnormal loads, waste management'.
In addition to the Kent Police five other police forces have signed up to the scheme, which could pave the way for countrywide adoption of the technology for surveillance, monitoring and evidence gathering.
With the UK as reportedly the country with the most surveillance cameras watching the public's every move, is there a need for more?
Is this for the protection of, or for the control of, the citizens?
