Federal legislation Public Law 112-95 – FAA modernization and Reform Act of 2012 charged the Department of Transportation and the FAA to finalize and integrate UASs into the NAS with the intent of allowing commercial operations (Public Law 112-95, 2012). Any aircraft that operates within the NAS needs to be certified, registered, and controlled by a licensed pilot (non-model aircraft). With the passing of Public Law 112-95 UASs pilots could now request an exemption to these requirements under Section 333 (Section 333, 2017). This set the frame work for commercial UASs operations prior to the full implementation of 14 CFR Part 107. In late August 2016 the FAA fully implemented Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs); setting …show more content…
Areas most likely to see new legislation and ordinances from state and local governments will be the use by public entities such as law enforcement. As discussed above in California v. Ciraolo law enforcement aircraft can be used to obtain a search warrant based on observation from within the navigable airspace but, UASs operations differ. Due to limitations of UASs flight time, altitude restrictions, and LOS restrictions just flying them for routine patrols is unrealistic. Therefore, states should be able to develop legislation that requires a warrant already be issued prior to the use of a UASs, this would preclude law enforcement agencies from using a UASs in unwarranted surveillance (National Conference of State Legislatures, 2017). States are also concerned about their citizen’s privacy and some have taken action to introduce legislation to protect people’s privacy specifically addressing UASs. California introduced legislation that forbids flying a UASs with a camera over private property without permission of the owner (National Conference of State Legislatures, 2017). Nevada passed legislation where you cannot fly a UASs over someone’s property at less than 250 feet AGL if the owner has previously stated to not fly over their property (National Conference of State Legislatures, 2017). These are a couple of examples that are focused at the hobbyists’ use of UASs but could impede on commercial
The purpose of the report is to assist Aircraft Solutions (AS) in indentifying the most significant Information Technology (IT) security vulnerabilities. AS products and services are at the forefront of the industry and the protection of such is very important as they are an industry leader. The vulnerabilities that will be discussed are the firewall configuration, virtualization of their
Q1. How and why has the express mail industry structure evolved in recent years? How have the changes affected small competitors?
If Mark and Todd choose this option, they could budget accordingly each month. If they are struggling they could forgo the additional principal payment during any given month. By choosing this option, S & S Air could save money and have flexibility in the mortgage payments.
For example, many Instagram users and YouTube bloggers use drones to record all of their videos for them. The more expensive and high tech ones don’t even need a remote controller to navigate; they instead just locate and follow the person, and are barely limited to where they can go. This presents an issue in today’s world because just like the planes flying over Lee Causby’s farm and dwelling, these drones are flying over people’s properties. In fact, in January 2016, a drone owner, David Boggs, filed a federal lawsuit, “in hopes of having the courts define the rights of aircraft operators versus property owners with respect to unmanned aerial vehicles” after his neighbor shot down the drone. Attorneys for David Boggs filed a complaint for declaratory judgment and damages in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky nearly six months after the man’s drone was brought down by a shotgun-wielding neighbor, William Merideth. “Police initially cited Mr. Merideth with charges of criminal mischief and wanton endangerment for admittedly firing three blasts from his shotgun after he spotted the drone above his property last July, but Bullitt County Judge Rebecca Ward later dismissed those charges after concluding there had been an invasion of privacy and that Mr. Merideth was in the
The purpose of this research paper is to show how unmanned aerial vehicles, better known as UAV’s or drones infringe on the Fourth Amendment and Due Process of the law.
Menacing spy craft... unmanned aerial vehicles... and missile laden predators. These are the images that come to mind when the word "drone" is spoken. Taken to new heights during the Global War on Terror, military drones have struck fear into the hearts of America's enemies. Now the U.S. government is starting to look inward toward its next target: the American people. Already starting along the US/Mexico border, big brother is indiscriminately watching whole neighborhoods via high tech zoom and heat imaging technology. There is even a debate in congress as to whether it is lawful for an American citizen to be killed by a missile firing drone. These actions and debates have caused legitimate concerns for the American people in regards to
This ruling will undoubtedly become more important as states and municipalities consider bills that would hold harmless property owners who may damage a drone flying over their private property. The current presidential administration’s public
My first area to discuss is applying the fourth amendment of the United States Constitution to drones at home. We notice the trend of how drones are becoming more popular and easier to purchase at commercial stores. We could see how people use drones for a multitude of different reasons: from a distance to record an event, look over their fence without going over etc. This could become a problem because this violates the fourth amendment, which provides
The express companies delivered tremendous amount of packages. The big three players, Federal Express, UPS, and Airborne Express, collectively delivered more than five million
This article summary is about the new bill that the Texas Governor, Gregg Abbott, signed into law recently that bans drones from being flown above certain areas and the several groups that tried to persuade him from doing so. The reason several groups have tried to persuade the governor from signing this bill into effect is that they felt this new law would make it harder for cities to make their own regulations concerning these electronics. This new law, also known as HB 1643, will make it illegal for drones to be flown above particular companies and places in
Interestingly, drones can cause many privacy issues. For example, in The Record’s article That little plane? It's a drone. It's fun, but it can be dangerous too, the author states; “Small drones with high-quality cameras make it easy to spy on your neighbors,” (P. 26). Here, the author argues that drones have the capability to spy on citizens due to the drones usually having high quality cameras. Many communities think that it is the biggest privacy issue in the United States. Not only can this small drone cause privacy
Whether the police have too much power here is subjective. If you were to ask someone who does not support law enforcement they would say yes. They would think that this is something they could use to spy on people even more than they already do. There are a lot of people who feel this way. They feel this way because a few people in law enforcements have abused their power and have now given everyone in law enforcement a bad representation. I personally think that the police do not have too much power in this situation. This plane is simply another tool they can use to do their job. Law enforcements job is to protect people, their property as well as solve crimes. The plane is not able to solve crimes by itself, the quality of the images is not good enough. The plane can help track vehicles and people but it cannot be certain that its following the correct person or vehicle. The police still have to use the old reliable and generally accepted tools to help solve crimes. Using the plane is for the greater good of the community, not so the people watching the images can be
