The LA Times reports: [latimes.com]

An organization representing news photographers urged California Gov. Jerry Brown on Thursday to veto legislation [ca.gov] that would restrict the use of drones over private property without the owner's consent.

The legislation would make flying a drone less than 350 feet above private property without consent a trespass violation. Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara), author of the bill, has said the measure would prevent camera-equipped drones from peeping into windows or other invasions of privacy.
