Louisiana lawmakers are working to regulate drones. Baton Rouge Senator Dan Claitor has legislation that prevents people from using drones for stalking, voyeurism, and other crimes. He says his proposals are intended to protect people from people, as well as the government.
One of Claitor’s measures would prevent people from using drones for stalking, harassment or assault, and that bill is scheduled to be hear in a Senate committee.
Legislation dealing with police body cameras and what footage should be exempted from public record laws has been approved by a Senate committee. New Orleans Senator J.P Morrell says it causes a lot of financial strain on police departments to save these body cam videos for three years, which is currently required by law.
