The CA legislation regarding trespassing applies only to drones flying at altitudes under 350 feet.

It looks as if you provided a reference that refutes (A), (B) and (C) ... What am I missing here?
My mistake...the bill was obviously changed since the publication of the article (and when I first read it) to incorporate the language which eliminates the flaw that Gregory McNeal pointed out.

That said, he does a better job than me in this article and others of his he links to of outlining how, absent a law like California's new one, drones are legally permitted to fly over private property.
