Drone Restrictions: Protecting Citizen Privacy from Surveillance
This bill aims to limit federal agencies' use of drones for surveillance of citizens and their private property. It provides greater privacy protection unless consent, a court warrant, or a terrorist threat is involved.
Key points
Federal agencies cannot use drones to intentionally surveil citizens or their private property.
Drones can only be used to record citizens with their written consent if the recording is for public dissemination.
Exceptions to the ban include situations with a court warrant or authorization by the Secretary of Homeland Security to counter a high risk of a terrorist attack.
