A wonderful ruling
If he'd been flying at 100 feet and saw it with his naked eyes it was ok but because he was flying at 5000 feet and used a zoom lens it's illegal in Oregon.š¤¦āāļø

Yeah this is an interesting one. Not a drone case, plane is at 5000ft with the MX10. So are they saying if theyāre lawfully present in the air and see a dude shoot another dude, it would be thrown out?? The appellate judge said, āBut the court signaled that officials must be ready to have separate evidence to back up their assertions if they do use enhanced aerial surveillance from devices like helicopters, jets or drones as evidence for a warrant or arrest.ā
Isnāt that what Tyler did when they did an investigation from the ground to bolster their case?
They also said they were able to obtain evidence about the operation āinsideā the structures from the air. Wonder about that assertion.
I hope they appeal the decision to the Oregon Supreme Court at least. This seems like a case of lawfully present and open fields doctrine.
