So Florida just passed a lame drone law, but it's killing my mojo for buying a new drone:
Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill that says drones cannot be used to record video or take pictures of people or their property, but there are not any criminal penalties attached to the law.
That's it. They have to sue you and prove damages. So I don't get it. What's the point of a law with no teeth?
I have no intention of being in my neighbor's yard, but I may shoot the neighborhood from 50-150 feet up. So I can't get anything in the images that can be identified? Or no random people at the beach?
Someone might say to just not worry about it, but it does open the door to lawsuits, and what about the future of it? I don't want to get a drone and find out that the same law, but modified, now allows your arrest because a neighbor's house was shown.
This is so frustrating....
