Overview
Local governments increasingly use drones for public safety, infrastructure inspection and disaster response. Drones offer real benefits in efficiency and safety, but residents often raise privacy concerns about law enforcement use, and critics have called for warrant requirements before police use drones. Civic uses outside law enforcement face similar challenges.
Balancing these interests is key to policies that allow responsible use while protecting residents’ privacy. This course discusses those challenges and educates participants on the federal, state, local and case law that applies to both warrant and warrantless searches with a drone.
