Have you ever wondered what
the laws or rules are for drones? It seems these pesky craft are
gaining ground over neighborhoods and on the streets. The Operations
Over People rule was effective as of April 21, 2021. Drone pilots can
now operate at night, over people and over moving vehicles without a
waiver, as long as they meet the requirements defined in the rule. The
Rule is Part 107. Airspace authorizations are still required for night
operations in controlled
airspace under 400 feet. So can a drone trespass on your property? This
gets tricky. The FAA does not regulate drones, but they do give new
meaning to the idea of a snoopy neighbor. If a crime is being committed
and a drone captures it, this can be turned over to law enforcement to
request a warrant to search your property. Check with your local police
for laws pertaining to drones. Happy Motoring.
