This law, called the "Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act," prohibits police from using drones to search for evidence or gather information without first obtaining a search warrant signed by a judge, except in emergency situations or when legally authorized by federal aviation rules. Using a drone for surveillance without proper authority violates this law and can result in civil lawsuits against the police agency.
