Arkansas Law Maker Proposes Law Banning Drone Photography

Hat Tip: PetaPixel

A bill was introduced in the Arkansas legislature yesterday that would outlaw the use of drones to capture information from private property.  This includes photographing that property but also includes recording sounds, capturing information about odors, etc.

It also prohibits the distribution of ownership of that information.  (Including ownership and distribution by the press.)

The law then provides "exceptions" to the blanket prohibition.




Personally, I think the law would fail a Constitutional Challenge as it is currently written.

Any photographer interested in drone photography living in Arkansas might want to contact the state legislature.
