MN HF1994

Prohibits law enforcement agencies from using unmanned aerial cameras (UACs) to gather evidence or information on individuals without meeting specific legal requirements.

Allows UAC use only under four exceptions: counterterrorism operations when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security determines credible terrorist threat exists; with a search warrant; when reasonable suspicion exists that swift action is needed to prevent imminent danger to life, property damage, suspect escape, or evidence destruction; or during natural or man-made disasters for rescue and recovery operations.

Permits civil actions by individuals aggrieved by law enforcement violations of UAC restrictions.

Excludes evidence obtained in violation of this section from admissibility in criminal prosecutions in Minnesota.

Establishes new law in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 626, defining UACs and prohibiting their use for evidence gathering except under the specified exceptions.
