Recreational Drones
Middleton does not run its own drone code; instead it adopts a handful of Wisconsin drone statutes by reference so City police can enforce them locally. The adopted provisions bar flying a drone to interfere with hunting or fishing, restrict flying and landing generally, criminalize intoxicated or reckless drone flying, and ban possessing a weaponized drone. Ordinary recreational flying that avoids those specific acts is not separately regulated by the City.
