Drone Outside Window Spooks Seattle Woman But Cops Say No Law Broken By Devin Coldewey A Seattle woman was surprised to find a drone hovering outside her apartment window early Sunday morning, but police say despite seeming creepy, there was nothing illegal about it. The drone, specifically a remotely operated hexacopter, was a good distance from Lisa Pleiss building and could have been photographing a nearby construction site. Nevertheless, Pleiss, who lives on the 26th floor, was disconcerted, and alerted her buildings concierge and the police. The crafts operators, laden with camera gear, departed before officers arrived — though police might not have had much to say to them. There really arent any specific laws to the UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] other than not being dangerous, Seattle police spokesman Drew Fowler explained Tuesday. This is a new issue and Im sure our lawmakers will provide guidance soon. Seattleites may be more on alert than others after another peeping-drone incident last year.
