Mainers shouldn’t have to fear that the government could use unmanned drones to spy on our homes and our backyards. Unfortunately, cheap technology and a change in the federal rules make the specter of backyard surveillance a real and terrifying possibility.
The Maine Legislature Judiciary Committee is set to vote as early as today on a bill to put meaningful limits on the use of surveillance drones and to prohibit the weaponization of domestic drones. Read the full text of the bill here.
Take action TODAY to put meaningful limits in place, before it’s too late!
