Berkeley City Officials Propose Creating "No Drone Zone"

City officials in Berkley, California are expected to consider on Tuesday a ban on law enforcement surveillance drone flights over the city, potentially putting the city in direct conflict with federal regulations.

Despite local law enforcement having expressed little to no interest in purchasing or using drones, the proposal would ban the purchase and use of drones by local law enforcement, and it would also create a “No Drone Zone” in the airspace above the city, reported The Oakland Tribune Monday.
