DENVER (AP) — New limits on drone surveillance by law enforcement are up before Colorado lawmakers Tuesday.
The Senate Judiciary Committee starts work on a long-awaited measure to regulate the use of drones, formally called “unmanned aerial vehicles.”
The bill would require law enforcement to have a warrant before using a drone in many cases, unless there is imminent threat to life or risk of a terrorist attack.
There have been weeks of closed-door meetings on the original proposal.
Sponsors say the bill no longer addresses private and commercial use of drones. That was addressed earlier this month under new regulations issues by the Federal Aviation Administration.
