Civics: Here’s the Internal Presentation the FBI Uses to Train Surveillance Pilots
“Put simply, you can’t look through walls of a home without a search warrant,” the presentation neatly summarizes. This is the same advice given to agents by a separate FBI presentation on drone use.
Elsewhere, the presentation includes safety information, such as when to bring oxygen tanks onto an aircraft, and what the pilot needs to do before takeoff (ensure that each person has been notified to fasten his or her seat belt). Plenty of information about regulation is included too, such as a lengthy section on how FBI agents planning to fly do indeed require a pilot’s license.
