California’s Governor Shoots Down Bill To Ban Private Drones
|Do you have a drone and live in California? If so you can continue flying it.
California Senate Bill 142 as its known was originally proposed in late January of this year. The Bill has since been passed by both the Senate and the state assembly. Here’s a very brief history about this bill, it will ban all drones flying over private property under 350 feet (~100m) unless permission has been given. After its passing a lot of big companies were in protest like GoPro (as most drones use their cameras) and lobby groups with links to Google and Amazon (because of their fast delivery service using drones). California’s governor Jerry Brown used his power of veto and has dismissed this piece of legislation. Personally I think that there should be some form of control on these private aircraft but not in the way that these politicians were imposing, maybe in the coming weeks or months we will get a better proposal.
