From the San Diego Office of the City Attorney’s Office:
New laws in 2016 may affect consumers and business owners in San Diego. One such law relates to drones and the invasion of privacy.
The potential civil liability of a person for a physical invasion of privacy is expanded to include when that person knowingly enters the airspace above the land of another person without permission or while committing a trespass in order to capture a visual image, sound recording, or physical impression of the plaintiff engaging in a private, personal, or familial activity, and the invasion occurs in a manner that is offensive to a reasonable person. California Civil Code §1708.8
The San Diego City Attorney’s Consumer & Environmental Protection Unit prosecutes criminal and civil violations of California’s unfair competition and other consumer laws committed in the City of San Diego.
The Unit maintains a Phone Hotline for consumers to report possible violations. You can reach the Hotline at 619-533-5600. If you would like to make a complaint, please visit the link below to access our complaint form: http://www.sandiego.gov/cityattorn ey/pdf/cepucomplaintform.pdf
