Aero-News Quote of the Day
"'Unlawful use of an unmanned vehicle or aircraft to capture an image' would include: Sound waves; Thermal, infrared, ultraviolet, or visible light or other Electromagnetic waves; Odor; or Other conditions existing on or about real property or the appearance of an individual located on the real property.
It would not be illegal to capture an image if the operator of the UAV has the "express consent of the person who owns or lawfully occupies the real property", or if the image was captured "Pursuant to a valid search warrant or arrest warrant; By a law enforcement officer or law enforcement agency in immediate pursuit of a person the law enforcement officer or law enforcement agency has probable cause to suspect has committed a felony; For the purpose of fire suppression or rescuing a person 12 whose life is in imminent danger; Without magnification or other enhancement and from no more than six feet (6') above ground level in a public place; or On real property that was public."
Source: This ridiculous attempt at assinine legislation is part of a bill making its way through the Arkansas legislature would make it illegal to capture, possess, or distribute virtually any image associated with a UAV.
E-I-C Note: Yeah....this is real... we couldn't make up something this stupid if we tried.
