When a distressed Gold Coast holiday-maker tried to take legal action after finding a "drone Peeping Tom" spying on her in the shower, her lawyer advised there was little she could do.
"My client, who was in a high-rise building in Main Beach, looked out the window while she was having a shower to see a drone hovering about 10 feet off the window," he said."She went downstairs to speak to the management of the holiday rental and was told the building was being surveilled by drone for maintenance reasons.
Police and domestic violence workers say victims are increasingly being targeted by high tech devices including drones. From mid-July 2023, a new registration and accreditation requirement through CASA will apply to all drones operated recreationally that weigh more than 250 grams. "We need more teeth in legislation. Right now we have a hodge-podge of language, absolute hodge-podge, none of the states have any consistency across this," she said.
