AirVūz News: World of Drones 03/22/21

Published 03/22/2021 07:18
The 'World of Drones' is brought to you by AirVūz News. It is a weekly news show for all things drone related.
A township in Michigan has ruled a drone to be in violation of a couple’s privacy. The case in question was filed back in 2018 against the township in Grand Traverse County Circuit Court when Todd and Heather Maxon argued that aerial photos taken of their property without a search warrant should be thrown out. The couple claimed that the photos of their backyard were an invasion of privacy and a violation of the Fourth Amendment. Just last week a Michigan Court of Appeals panel ruled 2-1 that the drone photos violated the Maxon’s, QUOTE “reasonable expectation of privacy,” and moving forward a search warrant must be obtained before taking photos of private property.
A man was arrested in Simi Valley, California for allegedly flying a drone with a bag of heroin attached to it. John Piani was operating the drone and taken into custody on Friday for suspicion of selling heroin and meth via the drone. Simi Valley Police Department posted a pic of the DJI Mavic on their Instagram page. The investigation is ongoing.
