The story is reported by CBS Miami here:
Police admit the MAV, if flown low enough, has the ability to look into people’s home, but that is not its intended purpose.
For a description of the Honeywell (designed-for-the-military-backpack-able) Micro Air Vehicle, see here and here:
The story uses the word "scan," which is alarming and is reminiscent of the backscatter scanners being used at airports, but these MAVs are equipped with cameras only, as if that isn't bad enough. The technology isn't developed enough to make scanners this small (13 inches in diameter), but don't say you weren't warned when I'm telling you again that that's coming.
