A new bill before the Florida Senate, if passed, would make it open season on “intrusive” drones. The goal of the bill would be to expand the Sunshine State’s “overall restrictions on ‘Unmanned Aircraft Systems’.” That expansion would include giving property owners the right to use “reasonable force” to “stop drones from conducting surveillance,” citing a “reasonable expectation of privacy.” From there, the definition of “reasonable force” is open to interpretation, and…since we’re talking Florida here…that math isn’t hard to figure out. As the bill currently stands, there are “no limits” on what action property owners can take, but a drone must be flying under 500 feet for defensive action to be taken.
