Michigan Coalition of Drone Operators announces:
MCDO v Genesee County
Complaint was filed yesterday in Michigan’s 7th circuit asking a judge to order Genesee County to cease enforcement of their unlawful drone ordinance.
This is likely the first such case in the country.
Michigan has a strong uas preemption law which prohibits local units of government from enacting or enforcing any rules regarding unmanned aircraft. Genesee County has chosen to enact an unlawful drone ordinance, arrest individual(s) for operating drones over park property, and has gone to great lengths to prevent drone flights.
