The Record
A bill that regulates the use of drones by police and fire departments cleared an Assembly committee Monday.
Under the legislation, police would be allowed to use the unmanned aerial devices for search-and-rescue efforts and for ongoing criminal investigations. Fire departments can use the devices to monitor fires.
The bill aims to protect citizens’ privacy and requires that any records obtained by a drone that are unrelated to an ongoing criminal investigation be discarded within 14 days. It stipulates that evidence illegally obtained by use of a drone is prohibited from being used in criminal prosecutions.
The Assembly Homeland Security and State Preparedness Committee released the measure sponsored by Assemblywoman Marlene Caride, D-Ridgefield, Assemblyman Vincent Prieto, D-Hudson, and Assemblyman Daniel Benson, D-Mercer, Monday.
“Technology has changed our society, but has also raised concerns about privacy protections,” Caride said in a statement. “No one wants to restrict the ability of law enforcement to use technology when the need arises, but creating clear standards for the use of technology such as drones ensures everyone will be satisfied in the end.”
