Michigan Supreme Court Ponders Privacy Limits for Drones
The Michigan Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday about whether the government can use drones to surveil private property without a warrant and use that evidence in court for zoning disputes. For two years, Long Lake Township zoning officials flew a drone over Todd and Heather Maxon’s property in northern Michigan near Traverse City, taking photographs and videos as part of a zoning dispute that he was running an illegal junkyard. The Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm, is defending the Maxons. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michigan-in-focus/support
