This bill establishes the "Protect Our Privacy (POP) Act" to impose limitations on the use of drones for law enforcement purposes. The bill prohibits the use of drones by law enforcement at concerts, protests, demonstrations, or other actions protected by the First Amendment, and requires a search warrant prior to using a drone for any other law enforcement purposes. The bill also prohibits the use of drones equipped with facial recognition software or crowd control devices, as well as drones with lethal or non-lethal weapons. The bill requires the destruction of data or information obtained by drones for law enforcement purposes within one year, unless it is part of an ongoing criminal investigation or pursuant to a subpoena or court order.
