LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska senator says lawmakers need to start looking at ways to keep unmanned aircraft from violating people’s privacy.

Sen. John Kuehn of Heartwell presented a bill to a legislative committee Thursday that would require a property owner’s written consent for a drone to shoot footage while operating less than 200 feet above the property.

The bill is unlikely to advance this year, but Kuehn says he introduced it to start a conversation with those directly affected.

Opponents say the bill could hinder legitimate uses for the technology, such as researching thunderstorms or reporting a news story.

The Nebraska Rural Electric Association says the technology could help workers inspect power lines in rural areas, but also raised concerns that other drones could damage that infrastructure.
