NE state senator targets use of cop drones with LB412, the "Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act"

Also: Letter wanting answers from Obama about his authority to put
Americans on drone "kill list" and the 11 senators who sent the letter.

Kevin O'Hanlon of the Lincoln Journal Star reports that Sen. Paul Schumacher of Columbus wants to nip in the bud police use of drones to spy on people in Nebraska.

     "If there's going to be a policy decision from the legislative level on the use of drones for the surveillance of civilian populations, then now's the time to do it -- before communities begin investing in these devices," he said.
     Schumacher has introduced the Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act (LB412) that says "a law enforcement agency shall not use a drone to gather evidence or other information" and that "... evidence obtained or collected in violation of the ... act is not admissible as evidence in a criminal prosecution in any court of law in this state."
