Florida's drone-privacy statute (Fla. Stat. 934.50), created 2013 and expanded 2015 and 2017 (and amended repeatedly since). Restricts both government (warrant requirement) and private-party drone surveillance of persons and real property where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. A privacy/surveillance statute; it does not set general flight-operation rules (FAA preempts much of that).
