Drones and Prisons

Drones and Prisons

     People are using drones to help/assist criminals in prison. In Maryland, Ohio and Oklahoma this has happened. In Illinois, lawmakers want to pass a law that doesn't allow drones to be flown over prisons. It is called Bivins' bill because a Republican named Bill Bivins is sponsoring it. In Wisconsin, there is already a bill that says if you fly a drone over a prison, then you have to pay a fine of up to $5,000.

            In Maryland, two people were already arrested for planning to use a drone to drop off a phone and drugs in a prison. People are trying to figure out how to stop drones from flying over prisons over all. They have come up with using radio waves to mess with the waves that control drones. This would be smart,but however this might also end up blocking cell phone reception in and around the prison (including neighborhoods).
