A debate is brewing over drones as a bill makes its way through the Arizona legislature. The bill, if passed, would ban the flying of unmanned aircraft over homes without the permission of property owners. A violation could mean a felony."It's great for video, photo and for days like today when it is really windy,” said Rasmussen."Besides helping clients, I just enjoy going to different places and getting cool shots around Arizona,” added Rasmussen.
"So, I did go ahead and drop a bill. Not anti-drone, but to kind of put some regulations in,” said State Senator Anthony Kern."You know, you have to look at the private property or privacy rights of an individual. You know, if I am out in the backyard and maybe wearing something I shouldn't, or in my boxers and a t-shirt, I don't want a drone flying over and taking pictures,” added Senator Kern.
"I think it could be a deterrence for people that are doing this just for fun and people that are doing it for work,” added Rasmussen."We've had the FAA here. We've had lobbyists from different political subdivisions. We have had realtors weigh in on it,” said Senator Kern.
