Sonoma County farm owners have filed a lawsuit against the county's drone surveillance program, claiming it violates their constitutional rights. They argue that the drones, primarily used to identify illegal cannabis grows, intrude on their daily lives, including instances of cameras capturing footage of them in their hot tubs. The ACLU supports the lawsuit, asserting that all Americans should have privacy in their homes, emphasizing the need for legal limits on drone surveillance by government entities.
"This horrible experience has shattered my sense of privacy and security," plaintiff Nichola Schmitz said in a press release announcing the lawsuit.
"We all have the right to go about our lives in privacy in and around our homes without having to worry about a government drone flying overhead and recording us without a warrant or our knowledge," ACLU of Northern California senior staff attorney Matt Cagle said.
