New Laws For Drone Usage In California Are Coming

Have drones gotten a little too out of control? They’re cool gadgets to have to take fun and

awesome photos and video (did you see the one that flew through fireworks to capture video?),

but as more people get their hands on these fliers, more issues and complaints have risen. Most

recently you’ve probably heard in the news:

  • Invading private property
  • Threatening and endangering large air crafts like airplanes and helicopters

Well California, some new laws might be put into place. One would ban drones from flying

below 350 feet over private property without the owner’s or tenant’s consent. People don’t want

to have to worry about a drone flying around their backyard or trying to peep through their

window.

Another law would allow police and firemen to destroy drones if it is interfering with their line

of work. Drones may be small but they pose a huge threat to the guys flying in the air. If the

drone collides with a helicopter or plane, it could damage a propeller, cause engine failure, and

they could crash. And when there is, for example, a huge fire to put out, drones flying in the way

delay helicopters and firefighters from doing their job.

Reports of unfriendly drone encounters have increased recently so if you have a drone or plan on

getting one, keep yourself informed with all the debate going around. You don’t want to fly it

somewhere and then end up in legal trouble and/ or with a broken drone.

If for some reason you find yourself in jail all from a misunderstanding of a drone, or abusing

your drone and disobeying the law, you can post bail with an Madera Bail Bond Store bail bond.
