There is a news article stating that a criminal organization used a drone for an assassination of an enemy in Russia. Will any person or organization also use an FPV drone in the commission of a crime in a country other than Russia this year?

  1. Crime must be a domestic crime.

  2. The crime must not be related to the flying of the drone itself. The crime must be a crime that is carried by using a drone. An approximate shorthand: If you can commit the crime without the use of a drone, then the crime qualifies.

  3. War does not count.

Will this resolve yes if a drone is observed to be violating airspace restrictions? If a drone is used to commit a war crime?

@Martlet Good question. I see where you're going with this.

I would say that the use of the drone must be used as a means to an end, where the end is the crime.

So violation of airspace would only qualify if the end was something like attempting to covertly photograph a restricted military area. In this example, the photography would be the crime. Similarly, if someone build some kind of illegal drone and flew it, then that would not qualify. Or if they flew it beyond some distance limit. Think of it like "use of a firearm in the commission of a crime". (https://criminalnotebook.ca/index.php/Use_of_Firearm_in_Commission_of_an_Offence_(Offence))

War is excluded. The intent is that it is a crime that a local, provincial or national police force would investigate and persecute. Wars are inter-national. We'll say that international courts do not count.

Note: it’s possible the original news article is fake. It doesn’t really matter, it was just inspiration.
