A great idea, but in my country would be targeted by stones and vandalism.
This is even worse of an idea than the balloon thing.

Those drones can stay in the air for at most 15 minutes. This means that you have to have someone constantly rotating the drones and changing their battery. So then you go and arrest whoever is running the drone 'base'.

I put a keychain camera on my $100 remote control airplane. I don't suddenly own a Predator UAV.

So I don't get it, how are these supposed to be powered 24/7? This just seems like a publicity gimmick to me.

If they were serious, wouldn't some form of high-altitude solar balloon with solar powered rotors be better?
