Game of Drones. An Analysis of the 2015 Session Assembly Bill 3597 [German]

By Brian Mazurowski

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Politik - Region: USA, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Recently, Assemblymember Zebrowski has introduced Assembly Bill 3597 (from now referred as A.3597), which regulates the personal use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moreover, the term "unmanned aircraft" may be misleading as there are no systems currently available that can conduct fully autonomous operations; therefore all systems need an operator for part of the process. More commonly in the public, UAV is referred to as a "drone." There are distinct differences with drones and their uses. However, A.3597 refers to recreational drones, as drones that private-civilians operate for leisure. Further, the introduction of A.3597 was a result of an increase in ownership and the use of recreational drones. Therefore with an increase of recreational operations, this has caused an increasingly greater risk of dangerous accidents from recreational drones. A growing concern for law enforcement, Assemblyman Zebrowski worked closely with Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco in drafting this legislation that would protect police, specifically, security at the county jail. The partnership between the assemblymember and the Rockland County Sheriff's Department has been used to minimize risk and increase flexibility in the language of the bill. Although lobbyists are not as influential as someone might think regarding drafting legislation, they remain essential for reporting background ideas to policymakers and for lending support for particular legislation. Further Falco claims, "The reckless use of drones has become an increasingly challenge for law enforcement."
