LANDED Act: Enhanced Police Powers Against Illegal Drones
This new law aims to enhance public safety by allowing local law enforcement, such as police, to coordinate with the federal government in detecting and stopping drones involved in unlawful activities. Citizens may experience increased safety in public places and around important facilities, but should also be aware of new rules regarding drone usage.
Key points
Local law enforcement, including police, will be able to use specialized equipment to detect, track, and neutralize threatening drones.
A system for reporting drone flights by government agencies will be established to avoid interference between legal operations.
A grant program will be created to help local agencies fund the purchase of equipment to combat illegal drones.
The act provides for rapid response to state requests for assistance in emergency drone situations.
The Inspector General of the Department of Defense will review drone activity over military installations and other sensitive areas.
