From the news piece:
Peter Sachs of Branford is out in front of what could very well be a drone revolution in America. Sachs is a lawyer and drone enthusiast. In fact, just last week, his drone helped out Branford firefighters try and figure out if it was safe to approach a quarry fire that was burning right near some explosives. Sachs points to a recent case in Hartford, where a man was questioned by police after flying a drone over a crime scene. He says that not only did the drone operator in that case not do anything illegal, he says that right now there are no state or federal laws on the books on drone use.
