The law also limits the use of face-recognition drones, except in cases of terrorism, sudden harm, or preventing suspects from escaping. The law was amended, which previously prohibited law enforcement from using drones to gather information within the state, except in special circumstances.
The updated law allows law enforcement to fly over public incidents, assist with infrastructure inspections and provide support to first responders.
In addition, law enforcement now has to destroy data collected from drones within 30 days, except for educational purposes or metadata. In addition, the sale of collected information is prohibited.
