A U.S. Congressman from Minnesota has introduced legislation intended to give more control to state and local officials who regulate unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s).
Jason Lewis says the Drone Innovation Act addresses the operation of drones flying below 200 feet.
“So on the one hand we have a national airspace that we want to preserve for interstate commerce, and there’s a federal rule there. But I want to maintain the local control over the traditional things like a common law nuisance or privacy and property rights.
