This week, a Vancouver man called the police about a drone flying near his 36th-story window, marking the latest incident in a string of such reports in recent months, police say.

On Sunday evening, Conner Galway tweeted:

There was just a neon drone, only a couple of feet away from my patio, camera pointed right at me. The future is creepy. —Conner Galway (@Conner_G) August 18, 2014

Neither Galway nor the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) immediately responded to Ars’ request for comment. However, Galway did post this video on YouTube:

Sgt. Randy Fincham of the VPD told the Vancouver Sun that police have received 13 drone-related complaints this year—10 of those since May 2014. Galway’s incident was the most recent: he was having dinner on the patio of his condo when he spotted the drone at around 8:30pm and then again two hours later.

Like the United States, Canada does allow drones to fly without any official authorization so long as they are for recreational or leisure purposes.

However, Fincham also told the Sun that a drone operator could face prosecution on voyeurism charges if that drone was shown to have been recording someone who “is in circumstances that give rise to a reasonable expectation of privacy.”

We have filed a public records request with the VPD and inquired with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Transport Canada to find out more about such reported drone-related incidents. In July 2014 those agencies also told the Sun that they were investigating a video of a drone that was flying too close to aircraft at the Vancouver International Airport.

UPDATE 5:26pm CT: Fincham wrote to Ars, saying that eight of the 10 most recent drone complaints "were in relation to privacy concerns."

"The VPD would become involved in an investigation into the use of a drone if it should constitute a criminal offence, possibly the use a 'drone' or other high-tech device to view or film a person who was within the confines of their private dwelling or negligently cause damage to property or personal injury," he said by e-mail.

Fincham noted that no charges have ever been brought against drone operators in Vancouver and that his department does not use drones.
