That&#x27;s grasping at straws. What are the chances you&#x27;re going to happen to need an alibi for the very moment you were filming yourself with a drone, and your drone just happened to be small enough not to be observed?<p>I would also submit that the critical factor in this case was the <i>state&#x27;s</i> use of a <i>hidden</i> camera. We&#x27;ve already agreed that there is no problem with the FBI posting an actual agent on the steps.<p>Finally, this type of law applies much more to audio than to video. I am allowed to record video to my heart&#x27;s content. I am only allowed to record a conversation with consent of all parties in my state. But even if I did so, no sane court would prevent me from using such a recording in my own defense.
