NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Police at Britain's two military bases on Cyprus say the use of a state-of-the-art drone will greatly boost their ongoing crackdown on the illicit trapping of small migratory birds.

He told The Associated Press on Thursday that the drone's use is governed by a legal framework to protect privacy rights. The 25,000-euro ($30,000) machine's cameras can read a license plate from as high as 200 meters (656 feet).
