Basically, Orem police have invited an alleged drone-owning pervert to turn himself, or herself, in.
In a posting on the department's Facebook page, complete with the hash tags "#wheresmydrone" and "#weknow," OPD announced its suspect search in the form of a game of seven questions:
"Are you missing a quadcopter?"
"Did you lose it this morning [Sunday], in Orem?"
"Are you looking over your shoulder to see if the police are following you?"
"Have you been convicted of Voyeurism in the past?"
"Does the SD card in your quadcopter camera have videos of people in their private bedrooms and/or bathrooms?"
"On the same SD card is there a picture of you flying your quadcopter?"
"Would you like to turn yourself in before we have to come knocking at your door, maybe on Christmas morning, with a warrant?"
The post invites the perpetrator — "We know who you are but let's make this easier on everyone!" — to call OPD at 801-229-7070.
Just how did this peeping flier's gear come into police possession? OPD credits "a very alert citizen" who spotted the drone hovering outside his bathroom window on Sunday morning, followed it to where it touched down and then called police.
