I wonder why the governor of California vetoed this, maybe be he has a drone import business!!! I believe a fine of $100,000.00 per occurrence and 10 years in jail without parole would help curb the drone intrusions!!
The bill basically made it illegal to fly a drone or model airplane in most places. It was waaay to restrictive.
