I mean, most drones do snitch, where can I buy a drone that doesn’t broadcast its position or have gps fences?

In September the Jordanian air force shot down two drones carrying crystal meth coming from Syria
Uh, what happens to the people below a drone-full-of-meth that’s shot down?

I was thinking the crystals would turn to fairy dust then you’d start floating and fly off to never never land

The border between Jordan and Syria is mostly unpopulated desert. Time for a treasure hunt!

Presumably the drones do either have pre-programmed flight paths in them, or are flown by radio that can be triangulated - and giving up that location information probably is equivalent to ‘snitching’.

Store the flight information in RAM and it’s gone once it powers down. I’m sure cartels can afford to pay some programmers to do that.

Officials also seized 14kg (31lbs) of hashish, 8kg (18lbs) of marijuana, more than €157,300 (£135,527) in cash, and six large aerial drones.
Holy crap. So, umm, what happens if snatch a drone carrying hundreds of thousands of dollars? Finders keepers?

Run.
If the owner finds you… like if they have a camera recording and the GPS location… you might get some free bullets on top of it.
Spain has some relatively strict gun control. That doesn’t mean someone controlling the smuggling of millions of € in drugs, can’t pay a few grand for some of his “acquaintances” to fly all the way over, get his property back “by whatever means”, and fly back the next day.
