Missouri RSMo 305.637 prohibits using drones for warrantless surveillance, and RSMo 565.253 criminalizes voyeurism by drone. Federal FAA rules govern airspace and registration, leaving cities limited authority over operations.
Federal Aviation Administration regulations preempt most local drone airspace rules. Missouri layers state restrictions through the Preserving Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act, RSMo 305.625 to 305.641. RSMo 305.637 forbids state agencies and persons from using drones to gather evidence or surveil individuals or property without a warrant or owner consent. RSMo 565.253 makes invasion of privacy by drone a criminal offense. Recreational pilots must follow FAA Part 107 rules or the recreational exception, including registration, line-of-sight operation, and altitude limits. Cities may regulate take-off and landing on city property but cannot regulate flight paths in navigable airspace.
Unwarranted surveillance can support civil suits and exclusion of evidence. Voyeurism by drone is a class E felony for repeat offenders. FAA violations carry separate federal civil penalties.
