Va. Bill Targets Airborne ‘Drones’ That Spy on Hunters
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Virginia state senator is pushing legislation that would take aim at unmanned "drone" aircraft that might prowl the skies over private lands snooping on hunters below.
Sen. Frank Ruff, R-Mecklenberg County, says his bill was inspired by a news story of an animal-rights group flying a small, camera-equipped, remote-controlled plane over a hunt club in Pennsylvania where captive pigeons were released and shot down.
In that case, the drone suffered the same fate as the pigeons.
