Presumably the drones do either have pre-programmed flight paths in them, or are flown by radio that can be triangulated - and giving up that location information probably is equivalent to ‘snitching’.

Store the flight information in RAM and it’s gone once it powers down. I’m sure cartels can afford to pay some programmers to do that.
