Sumario:The drones have become a very beneficial device for society because of a new technological revolution that will bring very positive aspects to society. However, not everything can be advantages. Unfortunately, certain groups (terrorists, drug traffickers, etc.) have seen in drones an optimal opportunity to improve their criminal activities. It is necessary that the public authorities reinforce all measures at their disposal to prevent the use of drones from becoming a serious danger to society. It is necessary to adopt a series of subjective measures (police, operators and pilots) and objective measures. We must provide more resources and training to the State Security Forces and Bodies. More rigorous controls on pilots should be established. This must go hand in hand with greater control of the aircraft that fly. But all these measures will never be enough to prevent the drones from becoming a danger to public safety. This article use as an essential source the report issued by the Oxford Research Group entitled “Hostile drones: the hostile use of drones by non-state actors against British targets”.
