  The rapid development of civilian drones has brought great convenience, whether it is geographic surveying and mapping, power inspection, emergency communications, or agricultural plant protection, traffic inspections, fire rescue and other scenarios, there are drones. But at the same time, due to the lack of legislation and the lag in supervision, the problem of "black flying" of drones should not be underestimated, which has caused numerous challenges to public safety and social order.

  In addition to unmanned aerial vehicles disrupting navigation and injuring people, the issue of infringement of personal privacy has gradually fermented. Some residents said that some drone users fly in the community and take pictures at will. Whatever they have at home and what they do at home will be clearly photographed, without a sense of privacy or security at all. Nowadays, the protection of personal data such as contact information and identity information is highly valued, but unmanned aerial vehicle shooting or even sneak shooting, which infringes on personal privacy, also requires attention.

  Previously, a bill called "Illegal Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles" in Pennsylvania, the United States, came into effect. The bill aims to prevent people from using drones to take pictures or videos of others in private places to protect personal privacy. According to foreign media reports, officials in York County in the state have personally experienced the problem of drone peeping and have a deep understanding of it. Signal Jammer

  According to the new bill, the police can impose a fine when they determine that drone operators knowingly or deliberately use drones to obtain aerial photos or videos. If the drone user is found guilty, he could face a fine of up to $300. The person in charge of the police said that what our police officers must do is follow-up and investigation, so as to know who is operating the drone, so as to ensure the safety of people.

  

  In fact, the United States has always paid special attention to the issue of UAV invasion of privacy. According to data released by relevant US agencies, more than 38 states are considering drone legislation, many of which are related to personal privacy. Right now, most states' drone bills have passed privacy-related laws.

  Previously, my country's management of drones basically followed the "Regulations on the Use of Low Altitude Airspace (Trial)" issued by the National Civil Aviation Administration in July 2014. According to the current relevant laws and regulations, there are many procedures involved in the release of UAVs, which mainly include four aspects: airspace flight control, aircraft airworthiness certification, aircraft pilot review, and aviation operation permits.

  However, since 2017, my country has successively issued a number of UAV-related policies and regulations, and the construction of the UAV supervisory system tends to be improved. For the protection of personal privacy, all parts of my country need to further introduce drone regulations, formulate and refine drone industry standards and usage specifications, strengthen the cultivation of the legal awareness of drone users, clarify the responsible persons and rights and obligations of each link, and realize "Prescribe the right medicine" to different problems.

  At the same time, the protection of personal privacy in non-traditional fields should be strengthened. For example, for drones to take high-altitude close-up shooting in special areas such as residential communities, special laws and regulations are required to regulate. Regarding this issue, local governments can issue regulations requiring drones to notify community owners and regulatory agencies in advance before taking pictures in such residential areas, before relevant operations can be carried out. Users who release drones for secret photography will be severely punished in accordance with the law.

  In addition to the supervision of laws and regulations, the use of technological means to protect personal privacy is also a feasible way. For example, anti-UAV equipment such as UAV jammer can better protect a certain space from UAV interference. It can cut off the communication link between UAVs and pilots to achieve the purpose of protecting personal privacy. . In addition, some drone monitoring equipment can also identify approaching drones in advance and provide users with warnings.
