COMMENT - Despite the many protestations of those who profit the use of drones against Americans is still on the Federal agenda. Tenth Amendment action is growing.
ARTICLE
Today, an Indiana state house committee gave preliminary approval to a
bill which would severely restrict the use of drones within the state.
Introduced by Rep. Eric Allan Koch (R-65), House Bill 1009 (HB1009)
“Prohibits the use of unmanned aerial vehicles and tracking devices to
conduct warrantless searches,” with very limited exceptions.
HB1009 was referred to the State House Committee on Courts and
Criminal Code where a hearing was held this morning. After a short
discussion, the bill passed by a vote of 6-1. Voting yes were committee
chair, Rep. Jud McMillin (R-68), along with Reps. Pierce, McNamara,
Harman, Mahan and Rhoads. The lone no vote was cast by Rep. DeLaney
(D-86).
The legislation does include some narrow exceptions to the warrant
requirement to allay the fears of law enforcement officials who did not
want to be hamstrung in emergency situations when a drone’s use might
spell life or death.
