Nine States to Limit Drone Surveillance
/While the Federal government and the Federal Aviation Administration mull over laws pertaining to domestic drone use, eight nine states have started to take their own action.
State legislatures across the country have introduced legislation hindering drone usage. Some simply require police to have a warrant, while others go much further.
The Federal Aviation Administration estimates that about 30,000 commercial and government unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly called drones, could be flying over the United States within 10 years. Their sale and servicing is projected to grow into a $90 billion industry. And the FAA has been ordered by Congress to develop safety regulations that would allow routine domestic use of drones by September 2015.
Some state legislatures, however, aren’t so sure about that future vision.
