New thing to be afraid of: Dutch Eagle Cops.

If you don't speak Dutch, you won't be able to understand what they're saying in the video. But don't worry, I've got you covered in the story below.

For now, just enjoy watching eagles be badass.

Fucking drones.

While they may seem fun and/or useful now, they'll eventually become–like anything else–a total nuisance to all of society. Of course criminals have already found a way to put them to use. Peeping toms and thieves casing a home immediately come to mind.

Just look at that smug thing, hovering around like it owns the place.

Imagine a criminal at the control of one of these. That could be very dangerous. And there's virtually no way to stop it... or is there?

In all seriousness, "rogue drones" are becoming a bit of a problem, at least here in the US.

The term "rogue drone" describes any unmanned aircraft system (UAS) that's doing something illegal or otherwise invasive. According to The Washington Post, "drones have smuggled drugs into an Ohio prison, smashed against a Cincinnati skyscraper, impeded efforts to fight wildfires in California and nearly collided with three airliners over New York City." Drone operators have also been involved in cases of stalking. So, yeah, drones are a problem.

But not to worry–if you live in the Netherlands, at least. The Dutch police have a unique way of dealing with rogue drones, and it's so awesome.

They're training eagles to very literally hunt them down. If this doesn't scare the shit out of you and make you not want to be a drone creep, I don't know what will.

Look at that speed and accuracy. No rogue drone is save with the Dutch Eagle Police are around.

Enjoy your prey, big guy. You've earned it.
