This is in addition to the bill referenced earlier that imposes civil liability with regard to using drones to take photographs and the like.
Wait, you've been arguing this entire time that it's already illegal to fly drones over private property and you have the right to smash them...why would these bills be at all necessary if that was the case?

Edit: This is no surprise in California. The reason this was adopted so quickly to protect movie stars from paparazzi, not any concern for regular folks. It will be interesting to see if it catches on anywhere else. It will also be welcomed by businesses such as agriculture which want very much to avoid any public scrutiny, and used to prosecute journalists and whistleblowers acting in the public interest.
