Proposed New York Bill Comes With Heavy Restrictions

[LuvMyTJ]

Being a NY resident it comes as no surprise to me that our politicians are cooking up ridiculous new laws.

The bill creates specific lawful uses for unmanned aircraft, commonly known as drones, including use in airspace designated as a Federal Aviation Administration test site and use in connection with a valid search warrant.
It would also prevent unmanned aircraft from being improperly used by creating two new crimes: the illegal use of an unmanned aircraft to capture images and the offense of possessing or distributing the image.

So what exactly are the proposed restrictions? The article doesn't say at all.

Hopefully the final bill will be descriptive in what aircraft they are regulating. The bill sounds proactive to keep jobs and yet restrictive for video/photographers.
