❌ HB425
Prohibit trespass and unauthorized recording by drones
Summary
HB425 prohibits the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) over private property without permission, including unauthorized recording of individuals and private property. It defines critical facilities and outlines penalties for violations, classifying them as fourth degree misdemeanors. The bill establishes conditions under which drone operation is considered trespassing or unauthorized recording.
Rationale
The bill restricts individual rights by prohibiting the use of drones for recording and accessing private property, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of personal liberty, privacy, and property rights. Both the LP and LPO platforms emphasize the importance of individual rights and oppose government overreach, making the bill largely misaligned with their core values.
Risks and Concerns
- Infringement on individual rights
- Increased government control over personal property
- Potential for misuse of law against innocent individuals
