Complicated: Even Hobby Drones Could Be Made Illegal In Texas
http://j.mp/WJvSHg (Popular Science)
"The pilot, whose name has not been released, notified Texas
environmental authorities, who launched an investigation. On Dec. 26,
a grand jury handed down several indictments against the owners of the
Columbia Packing Company for dumping pig blood into a creek. They now
face hefty fines and even prison time stemming from the water
pollution, and the plant has since been shuttered. Neighbors had
complained about noxious fumes and other issues for a while, according
to the local news. But investigators didn't get involved until this
drone pilot took his pictures. Under a new law proposed in the Texas
legislature, sponsored by a lawmaker from the Dallas suburbs, this
type of activity could soon be criminal. Not the pollution--the drone."
