New Transparency. Police use of Black Lives Matter Legislation: Drone Reporting.

What’s happening? Minnesota adopted a new drone law that requires law enforcement agencies to file an annual report on drone usage, costs and if a search warrant was obtained for a flight

Why is this important? The legislation further limits drone use by law enforcement to prohibit drone use (1) for facial recognition or (2) to collect data at public demonstrations without a warrant.

How will this be important? Early adapters of drone laws often did not have the privacy and data limitations that newer drone laws have.
