Throughout history, every good intention, invention or idea, has the potential to be turned around and used in a bad, immoral, criminal or subversive manner to threaten or harm other well meaning individuals.

Anything can be circumvented or used / misused if one is so inclined toward malice.

At the same time I should note that it's pretty apparent from Mythbusters that remote controlled cars are just as possible, perhaps only less readily available for the average crook.
