Phoenix Introduces Draft Ordinance To Criminalize Certain Drone Uses

Posted by Soulskill on from the no-using-drones-to-attack-mexico dept.

Fubar writes: Two city council members from Phoenix, AZ are introducing "draft language" for public discussion that would make it illegal to use a drone to film people without their knowledge. The council members are worred about privacy of people in their own yards, even including the requirement that law enforcement obtain a warrant for drone surveillance. A violation of the ordinance would be a Class 1 misdemeanor, which carries up to a $2,500 fine and six months in jail.
