Unmanned aircraft image capture and surveillance law

Tenn. Drone Surveillance Law
active

Makes it a crime to use a drone to capture images of a person or privately owned real property in Tennessee with intent to conduct surveillance, and to keep or share such images. Later amendments add drone restrictions over large ticketed events, fireworks sites, correctional facilities, and critical infrastructure. Destroying or ceasing to share an image once its unlawful origin is known is a defense.
