Nevada drone bill takes effect Oct. 1

The real-world applications for drones are nearly limitless: Police could use them for search operations; businesses could use them for delivery or marketing.
But unmanned aerial vehicles have critics, too, who worry the technology could undermine civil liberties. Are you protected if a drone peeps through your window? Or if a neighbor flies a drone over your yard?
With such concerns in mind, a number of state legislatures have passed drone-specific laws to protect privacy. Nevada, which hopes a drone test site designation could be an economic booster, is one of them.
