California Doesn't Want Drones Flying Over Your Backyard

So the state Assembly passed a bill to create a no-fly zone over private property.

A California bill banning drones from flying over private property passed in the state Assembly on Monday, much to the frustration of drone enthusiasts who say it's too broad and oversteps federal authority.

The legislation would generally prohibit sending the remotely operated aerial devices into a "no-fly zone" extending 350 feet above private property. It would not restrict people from flying drones above their own property, above private property with the owner's permission or above public spaces such as streets or parks.
