NPPA Calls For California Governor Brown To Veto Drone Bill

Dave MacDonald reports:

The National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) wants California Governor Jerry Brown to veto a bill that would restrict the use of drones over private property.

The bill would open up news organizations to lawsuits for flying over private property without permission.
