For all the bombast, Texas law is very comfortable edging into the authoritarian. Almost all drone photography is illegal. Gun laws will never get to constitutional carry. The MVD goes through the DPS so it’s very slow. You have to get mandatory “safety inspections” on cars that are a relic of the 1930s. And then things like this hospital policy. And Texas is far too welcoming to the camel jockeys thanks to the Bush wing of the GOP.
Texas is a mix of individual freedom, you can hut hogs with a machine gun from a helicopter, but you cannot fly your drone and take a photo from the air. That’s because someone caught a slaughterhouse near Dallas dumping raw offal directly into a creek. So the Texas legislature quickly passed a law banning aerial photography.
Thank you for the insight, especially about drones.
I will get around to getting one and the legal stuff someday.
Yeah, had nothing to do with creeps photographing sunbathers in their backyards, or little girls through their windows.
