California Drone Bill Veto

This past Wednesday California Governor Jerry Brown vetoed a bill on regulating drones from flying. This bill passed in the state Assembly with votes of 56-13 and then votes from the Senate, 21-12. These votes would've banned low flying drones from going onto private property, which most land owners wanted. "Drone technology certainly raises novel issues that merit careful examination. “This is what Jerry Brown wrote in his official veto message. The governor of California would like to look at things a little more closely before anyone gets too worried about this situation. Although some people took this as a shock, the drone industry was more than happy with the governor’s action. Then there are the citizens who believe that they have their right to privacy because it is their property and they should have that right, and quite frankly they would find them, quite frequently, annoying and nonsense to the environment.  There are the two types of people in this kind of situation, one: the neighbors who find the drones to be an invasion of their privacy; and two: the type of people who see the drone industry as flying moneybags. Most people are in it for the money, and drones are the big things now. There are plenty of people in the tech industry in California. I feel that Jerry Brown is appeasing the people so that they are able to keep their jobs and by keeping them happy will keep him in office.  This is a good example to our study in government because it’s about a law, the fact that it was vetoed, and that there were people for and against the law.
