Anti-Drone Technology Raises Legal Hazards

Here is an interesting article from the Washington Post that highlights a growing legal issue in the drone world. Drone flight is illegal over NFL stadiums, but enforcement is almost impossible. Technologies exist to mitigate or interfere with drone use. But, whether such anti-drone technologies are legal is extremely dubious in the current legal environment. Substitute bridges, highways, water towers, and energy facilities for NFL stadiums and the magnitude of the problem becomes clear. Legislative reform will be needed in order to allow the use of almost any anti-drone technologies…Unless you want to go old school.
