Does this apply to us http://edition.cnn.com/2013/04/25/us/florida-drone-law http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/item/15217-gov-rick-scott-signs-florida-drone-regulation-bill I cant find anything that is specific about hobby use, or recreational, or for commercial use, does it only prohibits police departments etc, and not us, or there is more to it.
Jose the Florida legislation is for LE only. It does not apply to other uses. You can read it HERE. Very short and concise.
Only good for Florida at this point. Other states are all over the map with Hawaii probably leading the pack with an outrageous bill. Other than outlawing nearly every type of UAV flight you would need to get permission from the state transportation department to 'acquire' a UAV.
Ok but this law in Florida is so Law Enforcement don't use "drones" for Law enforcement purposes, it does not ban all UAV including us the recreation hobbyist and the semi pro or pro commercial users of UAV...correct
The News media with their sensational reporting for their raitings are also distorting the facts about the multurotors they call "drones" and exaggerating that "drones" are going to spy on people violating their privacy check out this news clip http://news.yahoo.com/video/lawmakers-keeping-unmanned-drone-program-061500317.html only because you can put a camera doesn't mean you are going to park one for 5 or 8 minutes of flight over peoples windows or fly over someones backyard or as the news anchor said "see inside our homes" com on!! the News media all ready spy on people all the time to get the shots for their stories, paparazzi already do that with long lenses from the street or hidden from inside cars, or on top of lathers looking over fences politicians use all this to come up with easy dumb legislation that is probably use to show that are doing something in their jobs we need to put out there videos that counter all this and to fight this paranoia 'haaaa the drones are coming we are doom" stuff.......
I I wish that the "investigative" reporters would actually research. I would love to see a platform that can "see and hear" inside your home from outside. You would think that being in front of the camera, they would at least have a small concept of how pro audio and video productions take place.
