Minnesota SF625 authorizes law enforcement use of unmanned aerial vehicles for locating missing persons, persons fleeing arrest, and escaped inmates.

Minnesota SF625 amends state law to allow law enforcement agencies to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for various purposes, including locating missing persons, individuals fleeing arrest, and escaped inmates. The bill also permits UAV use during emergencies, public events with heightened safety risks, and to counter terrorist threats based on credible intelligence. Additionally, UAVs can be used for crash reconstruction, threat assessments, and at the written request of government entities for non-law enforcement purposes.
