Charlottesville, Virginia, home to
Thomas Jefferson and the University of Virginia, has a long history of
being a voice for freedom. Now it can add freedom from drones to the
list, as Charlottesville's anti-drone resolution is the first of its
kind in the nation. The resolution, which passed by a 3 to 2 vote, calls
on the Virginia General Assembly and Congress to adopt legislation
barring information obtained from drones from being used court-- and the
city itself has adopted such a ban locally. The measure also endorses a
proposed two year moratorium on drones in Virginia. Even though the
legislation won't do anything to prevent federal or state operated
drones from flying over Charlottesville, the resolution has raised
awareness and prompted other cities and states across the US to take
similar measures.
