THE TECH-LICIOUS: TECHNOLOGICAL CRIME

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There are all kinds of good uses for drones. Just think about some of
 them for a moment – they can be used to capture great aerial 
photography and/or video, they can (eventually) be used to deliver 
packages, and they provide a great recreational use as well. They also 
offer all kinds of uses for the military. But, as with most technology, 
drones can be used for good as well as not-so-good activities, such as 
helping to smuggle drugs and other items into prisons. As technology 
increases, so do the ways in which criminals can commit crimes.</span></span></div>

 Among the wreckage was found marijuana, cell phones, and tobacco. One 
man has been arrested in conjunction with this crime, but police are 
still searching for his accomplice.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Although smuggling via drones isn’t all that common of an occurrence 
yet, trying to smuggle cell phones and drugs into prison is pretty 
common. Stephanie Givens, the spokesperson for the Department of 
Corrections in South Carolina, had this to say regarding the story: “The
 technology is getting better, and we have to figure out different ways 
to fight back.”</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One can only wonder what kind of “technology” this will turn out to 
be. Will prisons now have to install some sort of anti-drone weaponry 
atop their walls, or will guards constantly have to be on the lookout 
for them? Something tells me it might turn out to be a mixture of the 
two.</span></span></div>
