>People have already started committing crimes using quadcoptors I'm interesting to know what kinds of crimes people are commiting with quadcopters. Is it more of a spying/industrial espionage thing? Or stealing Amazon packages off of people's doorsteps? Arsonists?

I've heard of cross-border drug trafficking: https://www.airspacemag.com/flight-today/narcodrones-180974934/ https://www.airspacemag.com/flight-today/narcodrones-1809749...

Sorry, crimes is a too generic term! Counter-drone fight in Iraq/Syria includes consumer drones dropping what are basically grenades. Another recent example was a souped up quadcopter that scouted out a mil base in AZ and then outran a few LEO rotary wings recently. But, if it was that modified of a drone, it's possible other aspects of the connection/remote access were hardened as well.
