Privacy Rights in the Context of Public Drone Use in the United States
The article examines the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. This is a foundation of the right to privacy for citizens. However, with the emergence of modern technologies such as drones, interpreting the regulations regarding the protection of citizens may encounter challenges. The article examines the impact of drones on the right to privacy in the context of their use by law enforcement and private entities. The author presents key court decisions and current regulations governing the use of drones in public spaces. In addition, she draws attention to the conflicts between the public interest and the privacy of citizens, as well as the need to create clear legal regulations. The article also indicates that the dynamic development of technology requires a new interpretation of the Fourth Amendment to effectively protect the right to privacy in the 21st century.
