What legal measure protects public figures when operating a UAS?

The legal measure that protects public figures when operating a UAS is primarily grounded in privacy laws. These laws are designed to safeguard individuals’ rights to privacy against unauthorized surveillance or intrusion, which is particularly pertinent for public figures, as they are often under increased scrutiny and may have a reasonable expectation of privacy in certain situations.

Temporary Flight Restrictions, no-fly zones, and controlled airspace regulations primarily pertain to where and how UAS can operate within specific airspace and do not directly relate to the privacy protections for individuals. Therefore, while all aspects are crucial in the context of UAS operations, it is privacy laws that specifically address the legal protections afforded to people, particularly public figures, regarding the unauthorized use of drones that may infringe on their privacy rights.
