Governmental Use Of Drones: A Practical Look At Their Use By Municipalities And Related Fourth Amendment Implications

On September 13, 2016 I spoke on a panel entitled “Governmental Use of Drones: A Practical Look at their Use by Municipalities and Related Fourth Amendment Implications.” The panel was part of the 81st Annual International Municipal Lawyers Association Conference.

From the IMLA conference program:

The sec­ond part of this presentation will discuss the future of aerial surveillance law in an era of drones.
