I mean, most drones do snitch, where can I buy a drone that doesn’t broadcast its position or have gps fences?
-
I think you just build one using open source components
-
Be sure not to leave fingerprints!

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?
-
They don't sleep for three days.
-
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!
-
-
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?
-
Finders dissapeepers

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.
