Full Bill Text NMA Recommendation:
Support
Assembly Bill 3311 is before the Assembly Governmental Operations Committee. AO 3311 would impose limitations on the use of drones for law enforcement purposes, prohibit the use of drones by law enforcement at concerts, protests, demonstrations, or other actions protected by the first amendment and require a search warrant prior to using a drone for law enforcement purposes.

The NMA supports this bill since unchecked use of drones poses a serious threat to privacy. Drones can also be outfitted with speed detection equipment to essentially function as airborne speed cameras, thus causing many of the same concerns for motorists.
