We've witnessed camera-equipped drones capture spectacular footage, but we've also seen them crash and even cause trouble for law-enforcement officials.
Now Kanye West is posing a few questions, wondering whether paparazzi-manned drones will eventually harm his and Kim Kardashian's young daughter, North.

"Wouldn't you like to just teach your daughter how to swim without a drone flying? What happens if a drone falls right next to her? Would it electrocute her?" TMZ reports 37-year-old West saying. "Could it fall and hit her if that paparazzi doesn't understand how to remote control the drone over their house?"
West reportedly asked those questions to a lawyer representing photographer Daniel Ramos, who filed a lawsuit claiming West attacked him in 2013 at the Los Angeles International Airport. TMZ obtained West's deposition, which contains the quotes.
West's questions come at time when tensions between celebrities and paparazzi are seemingly at an all-time high, particularly as social media intensifies the demand for real-time celebrity coverage and as a few stars (Halle Berry and Jennifer Garner) have recently rallied to support an anti-paparazzi bill that, in part, would protect their children.
