US appeals court upholds FAA rules on drone identification

WASHINGTON :A U.S. Appeals Court on Friday upheld rules set by the Federal Aviation Administration requiring drones to have remote identification technology to enable them to be identified from the ground.

The U.S. Appeals Court for the District of Columbia turned away a legal challenge from a drone operator and others who argued the rule"amounts to constant, warrantless governmental surveillance." Judge Cornelia Pillard writing for the unanimous 3-0 panel https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/55807FB471B60BB08525888E0051AEA6/$file/21-1087-1956978.pdf said"Drones are coming. Lots of them. They are fun and useful. But their ability to pry, spy, crash, and drop things poses real risks. Free-for-all drone use threatens air traffic, people and things on the ground, and even national security.

She rejected arguments it was tantamount to illegal surveillance."Requiring a drone to show its location and that of its operator while the drone is aloft in the open air violates no reasonable expectation of privacy," Pillard wrote.
