The legal article linked below was blogged by an attorney targeting associations (HOAs) and real estate developers claiming:
Drones Are in the Air and "Should Also Be on Associations' Agendas” - Berger Singerman Law Blog
The article raises some generally good points; and generally "informational"/"public service" pieces like this are a good way for legal professionals to promote their skills and raise potentially important issues. (Which is a kind way of saying: articles like this leverage fear to churn new business by raising red herrings. As such, the content should be considered in the context of an author's agenda.)
My primary reason for starting this thread is to raise awareness. Those who have to live with overly oppressive HOAs and other associations may want to get a head start in heading them off at the pass through education, demonstration, and responsible conduct.
My secondary reason is to suggest to the xPilots site administrators and moderators that they might want to consider creating a sub-section within the forums to raise and discuss legal issues (such as the one raised above) not addressed by FAA Rules & Regs or elsewhere.
". . . the use of drones raises novel legal issues that developers and associations should consider and plan for. Developers should consider including certain restrictions in homeowners’ and condominium governing documents, and associations should begin planning for whether they should regulate the use of drones within the association, how they should regulate the use of drones, and how they can minimize potential liability arising from the use of drones."
