Drone legislation a step in the right direction, lawyer says
A leading attorney said yesterday that the Ministry of Transport and Aviation is taking “a step in the right direction” after announcing that it would release a series of proposed regulations governing commercial and recreational drone use by the end of March.
Higgs & Johnson Partner Michael Allen told Guardian Business that the announcement is a relief given the privacy issues and potential threats to national security presented by unregulated drone use, adding that the regulations should include a licensing fee for commercial drone use.
