Missouri May Restrict Drone Use
ST. LOUIS – A bill to confine the use of drones in Missouri to limited law enforcement cases is gaining support in the Show Me State.
There was little opposition to the measure in a short committee hearing on the issue Tuesday, and agricultural and civil liberties groups have spoken in favor of the legislation.
House Bill 46 from Rep. Casey Guernsey, R-Bethany, would prohibit any person or state department except law enforcement from deploying unmanned aircraft over private property without consent. Police officers could do so only if they had a warrant or were using the drone in an active chase or other case of imminent danger.

"Missouri May Restrict Drone Use"
Seeing as how Todd Akin was defeated for the US Senate from Missouri, I'd say they have a pretty good head start!

I would be more impressed if they prohibited its use by law enforcement, period.
