過去一年英國無人機投訴量增加了兩倍

Drones are stirring up public annoyance in the UK as the number of complaints to police are said to have soared 12-fold over the past two years - including allegations of snooping neighbors, burglary "scoping" exercises, prison smuggling and near-misses with aircraft.

無人機正給英國民衆帶來煩擾，英國警方接到的無人機投訴數量據稱在過去兩年間增加了11倍，包括偷窺鄰居、盜賊事先“踩點”、向監獄走私和險些與飛機相撞的指控。

Last year incidents rose to 3,456 (about 10 a day), almost tripling the 2015 figure of 1,237.

去年，無人機投訴事件增至3456宗，幾乎是2015年(1237宗)的3倍，相當於每天發生約10宗。

In 2014, the number of incidents was only 283, indicating that the commercial success of the devices has brought with it a growing public nuisance.

而在2014年，這一數字僅爲283宗。這表明無人機的商業成功給公衆帶來了日益嚴重的妨害。

But the actual total number of cases is thought to be much higher, as not all police forces were able to submit data on the drone cases.

不過因爲並非所有警察都能提交無人機投訴事件的數據，實際投訴總量被認爲要高得多。

David H Dunn, a professor at Birmingham University, warned of the snooping risk posed by the drones.

伯明翰大學的大衛·H·鄧恩教授則對無人機帶來的窺探風險發出了警告。

Speaking to the Press Association, he said: "Previously you had a hedge, you had a wall and you could do whatever you wanted in your garden without people disturbing you. That has changed because of drones."

他向《英國國家通訊社》透露稱：“在以前，你有一個籬笆，有一堵牆，你可以在你的花園中做你想做的任何事而沒有別人打擾。但是由於無人機，這一切已經發生變化了。”
