Unmanned Aircraft System Privacy Restrictions

Allows commercial, recreational, and educational drone use but, since 2025, bars operators from recording images of private property or the people on it with intent to surveil them or publish unauthorized images in violation of their reasonable expectation of privacy. People on private property are presumed to have that expectation if they cannot be seen from ground level. Law enforcement drone searches require a warrant or other Fourth Amendment authority and must minimize data on nonsuspects.
