Video shows drones dropping eggs and stink bombs on migrants in Britain as authorities warn aerial harassment could become dangerous new protest trend.
An unusual incident in Britain is drawing attention on social media: footage shows someone operating a drone over an area where migrants are staying, dropping eggs and stink bombs on them from above.
According to documentation circulating on social networks, the drone flew over the area carrying the materials and releasing them from height toward the people below. Instead of direct confrontation on the ground, the protest took on an aerial dimension this time.
The development comes against the backdrop of ongoing public debate in Britain over immigration and the arrival of migrants to the country. In recent years, immigration has become one of the most heated political and social issues in the nation, with protests and demonstrations occasionally taking place in areas where migrants are housed.
Social media has recently seen a growing number of videos documenting the use of drones in protests against migrants, raising concerns that this is no longer an isolated incident but a phenomenon that could spread.
Law enforcement officials worry that if using drones to harass migrants and drop objects on them becomes a trend, these protests could take on a new and dangerous dimension, with operators able to act from a distance and make detection difficult.
The use of drones in protests and public events is not new, but deploying them to drop objects at people presents authorities with an additional challenge.
