...PETA has another plan for lovers of the wilderness. They want to spy on hunters as self appointed green police trying to trap them in violations. Surprisingly, these “hobbyists” are able to take home their personal drone for only $324.99. By creating a law to prohibit PETA from fulfilling its mission to harass hunters and fisherman in Illinois, it has averted problems that other states like Massachusetts has endured
The linked piece is from Breitbart via Drudge. The sympathies are definitely right-leaning but raise a question. What if a conservative wants to use drones for some reason, e.g., surveil the US-Mexico border for crossings? Will the ruling apply to that practice?
Could this be extended to those who don't like "big ag," the industrial level practices of modern agriculture? After all, drone use is starting to pick up as a tool for that industry.
If so, will the PETA ruling become another way of saying only the government has the right to use drones or can we expect future cases to delineate those things?
